Ionbond's Advanced Coating Solutions for the Aerospace Industry
As a leader in surface enhancement technology, Ionbond continues to set benchmarks in the aerospace sector with its innovative coating solutions. Our participation in prominent events such as the Farnborough International Airshow underscores our commitment to advancing aerospace technology.
Certified experts in high-quality coatings
Ionbond has established itself as a trusted partner in the aerospace industry by consistently delivering coating solutions that meet the rigorous demands of aerospace applications. Ionbond’s coatings are designed to withstand extreme conditions, offering exceptional wear resistance, reduced friction, and enhanced durability. These properties are critical in aerospace, where component failure is not an option.
“The basis of Ionbond’s successful partnerships in the aerospace sector is our decades of experience with a wide range of coatings, applications, markets and materials,” says Chris Constable, Managing Director UK. “Our quality, reliability and expertise are corroborated by the ISO 9001 and AS 9100 certifications that our plants in Consett (UK), Paris, Toulouse and Lyon (FR) carry. At Consett, we also have the NADCAP Merit Status.”
Innovative Coating Technologies for various applications
Ionbond's suite of coatings includes a variety of technologies tailored to specific aerospace needs. For instance, the company's advanced physical vapor deposition (PVD) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) coatings are widely recognized for their superior performance in high-stress environments. In the aerospace market, our Tribobond™ 40 and Tribobond™ 01 coatings are among the most used for their low friction and high fretting wear resistance. These coatings are particularly effective in protecting turbine blades, landing gear, and other critical components from wear and corrosion.
“Most of what we do for the aerospace industry concerns commercial air travel,” says Val Lieberman, Global Segment Manager for Industrial Components. “However, our coatings do find numerous applications in the space industry, both in satellites and launch vehicles. Of course, many of these coatings are specially developed.” For example, specialty Ionbond™ CVD diffusion barrier coatings are used to enable operation of plasma thrusters to control space probes and satellites.
We furthermore can support our customers with all steps of aerospace coating, including quality procedures, tooling design, coating application, etc. That includes choosing from, and potentially customizing, a wide range of PVD, CVD and PACVD coatings.

Cutting tools for aerospace and defense manufacturing
Ionbond has also a strong reputation for tool coatings in a variety of industries. One of Ionbond's notable contributions is in the machining of complex aerospace components made from difficult-to-cut materials. Ionbond's high-end coatings facilitate reliable and cost-effective machining processes, enabling manufacturers to achieve precise specifications with minimal tool wear.
For instance, Aluminum alloys used for aerospace components are difficult to machine due to their high ductility and low melting temperatures. Ionbond has developed the Tetrabond™ Plus coating for this application. It possesses extremely high hardness and low affinity towards aluminum alloys. Tetrabond™ Plus is an advanced ta-C (tetrahedral carbon) coating which is thin, smooth, and extremely hard to maintain maximum cutting edge sharpness, a prerequisite for machining aluminum alloys.
Chris: “In the UK, the Ionbond Hardcut™ Plus and Tetrabond™ Plus coatings are very popular for aerospace materials. Aircraft components have tight component tolerances and are often made of high shear strength/low machinability alloys. Hardcut™ Plus, our multilayer TiSiN coating, has been proven to perform exceptionally well improving cost effectiveness of the manufacturing process.”
Providing advanced solutions for the aerospace industry
PVD coatings are revolutionizing the aerospace industry by providing advanced solutions to the challenges posed by extreme operational conditions.
Their abilities mentioned on the right, makes them indispensable in the development of next-generation aerospace components. As technology advances, PVD coatings will undoubtedly play an even more critical role in shaping the future of aerospace engineering.
