America Makes’ AM technology roadmap addresses five specific technical areas: design, material, processing, value chain and AM genome.
Then the hour strikes for BALIQ® CARBOS and BALIQ® CARBOS STAR, two coatings that Oerlikon Balzers has developed specifically for applications with extreme contact pressure and high sliding speeds.
What is the long-term focus of Oerlikon’s R&D, specifically with reference to 2030? Sven Hicken: For us as researchers, the topic of sustainability opens up new, very exciting areas of activity.
Choosing a coating material that is suitable for a specific application requires special knowledge of both the service environment and properties of the coating material.
coverage, complementary business models Oerlikon Balzers' fast-growing components business will build on Oerlikon Metco’s strong application know-how where customers require a tailored solution for specific
I deal specifically with so-called self-reporting materials, or materials that communicate. Communicative materials – could you elucidate on that a bit?
And if an apparatus with the desired specifications is not yet available at the moment, then it, too, will be printed in the foreseeable future!
BALINIT PROTEC from Oerlikon Balzers, is a REACH-compliant coating specifically developed to make industrial gas turbine compressors significantly more efficient and protect against corrosion and erosion
Care must be taken over the specification of the masking materials used, their placement on the part being sprayed, the design of the masking technique with respect to the relevant spray process and last
To do so, a specific effect is achieved by modifying the surface or improving it with a coating or in some cases an additional treatment so that the underlying body is protected from external influences
