Automotive coatings

Sustainable future mobility comes with increasing demands on parts and materials. This matches perfectly with Ionbond’s low-friction and wear-resistant coating solutions. The industry faces higher specific mechanical and thermal loads on components and the need to minimize friction losses in tribological assemblies. New materials and innovative surface treatment processes can help reduce friction and wear in automotive coatings.

PVD and PACVD coatings are key contributors in adjusting to these demands. Ionbond’s Tribobond^™ coatings increase the wear resistance and efficiency of power trains by reducing friction. It is the enabling technology for higher load conditions and increases the lifetime of the component.
