Did you know that mechanical seals, e.g. in pumps and compressors, use silicon carbide ceramics as seal ring materials? These are exposed to extreme tribological conditions over a long period of time which leads to overheating which results in the device failing. To keep these devices running reliably for longer, BALINIT NALUBIA ensures low operating temperatures thanks to its excellent dry running coefficient. #BalzersPassion For more information follow this link: https://balzers.site/NALUBIA

50 years ago, Neil Armstrong was the first person who walked the moon’s ground. Did you know that the former Balzers AG (today Oerlikon Balzers) provided thin protective coatings for important components of the Apollo 11? The Liechtenstein flag also got a ride on the Apollo 11. Richard Nixon, US President at that time, presented the Liechtenstein people with some lunar rocks, which are stored in the Liechtenstein treasury. #BalzersPassion #Moonlanding

Eyeglasses = temples + rims (or even less) How designer Sven Götti redefines rimless glasses Eyeglasses consist of two temples, a bridge, the rims and a few more small parts. You might think that provides limited options. Far from it: This drives designer Sven Götti to new heights of creativity. And with his “Götti Perspective” collection, he has gone one step further by redefining rimless eyewear. The new concept also employs BALINIT C from Oerlikon Balzers. #BalzersPassion Read the article here: https://bit.ly/32g9SuQ

Healthy snacks sponsored by Oerlikon Balzers for the students of the Balzers' high school - wishing them a fresh & yummy day!

From 3rd-4th July we participated at SVTM 2019: the show, organised jointly by A3TS (Association de Traitement Thermique et de Traitement de Surface) and SFV (Société Française du Vide), which provides an opportunity to meet not only the leading players in vacuum technologies and materials treatment, but also connect with over 1’000 specialists in vacuum technologies, heat treatments and surface engineering. The automotive industry is constantly challenged by legal, environmental, political and social expectations, which have to be fulfilled within the industrial process at financially tolerable conditions. With this challenge, the automotive manufacturers and their suppliers constantly push the boundaries of up-to-date technologies, searching for newer, better solutions. Oerlikon Balzers collaborates with the manufacturers and their suppliers in the development of new solutions and processes. Astrid Gies (R&D Automotive, Oerlikon Balzers) gave a presentation on “ta-C deposition by PVD: control of the surface conditions for mass production automotive applications.” If you are interested in enhanced automotive component coatings, please contact us. https://www.oerlikon.com/balzers/com/en/portfolio/balzers-surface-solutions/pvd-and-pacvd-based-coatings/balifor/balifor-t/ https://www.oerlikon.com/balzers/com/en/markets/automotive-and-transportation/automotive/
