We have a unique portfolio of products covering surface engineering, high-performance materials, coating equipment, and components that enhance product performance, efficiency, and sustainability. Oerlikon serves a wide range of industries, including aerospace, automotive, energy, medical, luxury goods, and semiconductors.
Resistance to fretting and adhesive wear is a critical factor for load-bearing components such as aircraft engines and landing gear, especially under poor lubrication conditions. Aerospace components protected by high-performance coatings exhibit excellent wear resistance, low coefficient of friction, functional stability at high temperatures, and good corrosion and erosion resistance.
Instruments coated with BALIMED™ offer superior abrasion resistance and improved cutting edge performance. Medical instruments with sharp cutting edges promote faster wound healing, while antibacterial properties reduce the incidence of infection and reduce the need for reconstructive surgery. Furthermore, the anti-glare properties allow surgeons to operate more quickly and comfortably. The coating provides an inert chemical barrier that enhances corrosion resistance and allows for repeated autoclaving.
The power generation market is constantly evolving, and market participants face various challenges. Our materials scientists and application experts develop tailored solutions for numerous application areas in the energy market, benefiting Oerlikon's partners.
