Not just cutting tools used to manufacture turbine parts are coated with BALINIT, but also bearings or valves in the overall system.
These solutions serve customers in the aerospace, automotive, medical and tooling markets, and are also used in high-end deco, consumer and white goods.

The acquisition will also deepen access in new end-markets such as aerospace, defense, power, oil & gas, and accelerates growth outside the traditional precision tooling and automotive sectors.
Materials important to the aerospace industry, like titanium and nickel alloys, impose severe stress, thermally and mechanically, on the tools used to machine them.
