Our sky and space have become fields of high­-tech de­vel­op­ment, with nu­mer­ous ad­vanced re­quire­ments. Some of these re­quire­ments can only be met through the de­ploy­ment of func­tion­al thin-film coat­ings and so­phis­ti­ca­ted lay­er stacks.

Air traf­fic is grow­ing stead­i­ly, and so is its im­pact on the en­vi­ron­ment and cli­mate. As a re­sult, the de­mand for more fuel-ef­fi­cient, qui­eter and less pol­lut­ing en­gines is also grow­ing. To meet this de­mand, mod­ern tur­bines must with­stand sig­nif­i­cant­ly high­er com­bus­tion tem­per­a­tures and tem­per­a­ture fluc­tu­a­tions than be­fore.

This can be achieved with coat­ings made from mod­ern high-per­for­mance ce­ram­ics. VON ARDENNE of­fers spe­cial­ised coat­ing sys­tems for pro­duc­ing these ther­mal bar­ri­er coat­ings.

Fur­ther­more, there are al­ready prom­is­ing ap­proach­es to en­able emis­sion-free flight us­ing hy­dro­gen pro­pul­sion. For the nec­es­sary fu­el cells, we of­fer coat­ing so­lu­tions for me­tal­lic bi­po­lar plates, in­clud­ing suc­cess­ful­ly test­ed lay­er stacks.

In ad­di­tion to coat­ing tech­nol­o­gy for ther­mal bar­ri­er coat­ings used in air­craft en­gines and pro­pul­sion sys­tems, we of­fer a wide range of coat­ing equip­ment and cus­tom­ised so­lu­tions for:

  • Op­ti­cal coat­ings on flat and curved sur­fac­es
  • Pro­tec­tive, an­ti­cor­ro­sion, an­ti­wear and hard coat­ings
  • Coat­ings for EMI/RFI shield­ing
  • An­ti­re­flec­tive and func­tion­al coat­ings with de­fined sig­na­tures
  • Coat­ings for space op­tics and tel­e­scopes

Our equip­ment and the re­sult­ing coat­ings are cru­cial to mis­sion suc­cess, en­abl­ing func­tion­al­i­ty and su­pe­ri­or per­for­mance un­der ex­treme con­di­tions.

De­pend­ing on your unique re­quire­ments, we can tai­lor a suit­able equip­ment plat­form that op­ti­miz­es coat­ing qual­i­ty and cost per part for your ap­pli­ca­tion.
