Making Aerospace Innovations Fly at the Paris Air Show 2019! Did you know that PVD coatings play a crucial role in flight safety? Resistance to fretting and adhesive wear is critical for load-bearing components such as those in aircraft engines and landing gear - especially under poor lubrication conditions. Aerospace components protected with our BALINIT coatings exhibit excellent wear resistance, a low frictional coefficient, functional stability at high temperatures and improved corrosion and erosion resistance. And, BALINIT C, a non-hazardous and REACH-conforming option to hard chrome plating, is a coating applied to aerospace components made of steel, titanium and various alloys that helps reduce surface fatigue and withstand high loads. Learn more at the Paris Airshow from 17 to 23 June. The Oerlikon Balzers team is looking forward to your visit. #BalzersPassion
