Industry solution
Application-Specific Surfaces for the Defence Industry
Applications in the defence industry place high demands on metallic components and their durability. As your development partner, we apply our coating and aluminium treatment processes specifically to deliver application-specific surfaces for demanding components.
Overview
Suitable Processes for the Defence Industry
Electroless Nickel delivers an even, precisely defined and wear-resistant layer regardless of component geometry – important for highly stressed functional surfaces.
For weight-optimised aluminium components, Anodizing/Hard-Anodizing provides additional corrosion and wear protection, while Heat Treatment of Aluminium specifically optimises the mechanical properties of highly loaded components.
Typical challenges
What Defence Industry Suppliers Come to Us For
Wear-resistant functional surfaces on complex component geometry
Components with bores, undercuts or other complex shapes require a layer that deposits evenly regardless of geometry. Electroless Nickel delivers a precisely defined, reproducible layer thickness.
Solution: Electroless Nickel
Corrosion and wear protection for weight-optimised aluminium components
Weight-optimised aluminium components need additional surface protection without noticeably increasing component weight. Anodizing/Hard-Anodizing produces a hard, corrosion-resistant oxide layer directly from the base material.
Solution: Anodizing/Hard-Anodizing
Defined mechanical properties for highly loaded aluminium components
Aluminium alloys often only achieve their required strength through targeted heat treatment. We tailor the process to the alloy, component geometry and the required mechanical characteristics.
Solution: Heat Treatment of Aluminium
Documented process reliability for demanding components
Applications in the defence industry require traceable, reproducible manufacturing processes with complete documentation. Our process monitoring and quality assurance are designed for exactly these requirements.
Solution: Quality inspections
Quality & process reliability
Documented Processes for Demanding Components
For every component, we develop a process tailored to the requirements, with complete documentation and recurring inspections.
Our management systems are certified to IATF 16949, ISO 14001 and ISO 50001. The certificates document the respective scopes. More on quality and environment.
