Air traffic is growing steadily, and with it its impact on the environment and the climate. As a result, the demand for more fuel-efficient, quieter and less polluting engines is also growing. Therefore, aircraft manufacturers and airlines worldwide have a high demand for efficient engines.
To meet these requirements, modern turbines have to withstand significantly higher combustion temperatures and temperature fluctuations than before. This can be achieved with coatings made of modern high-performance ceramics. VON ARDENNE offers optimal coating system concepts for this purpose.
In addition, there are already promising approaches to enable emission-free flying with hydrogen propulsion. For the necessary fuel cells, we offer coating solutions for metallic bipolar plates. Here, we benefit from over 60 years of experience in electron beam and over 50 years of experience in magnetron sputtering technology.
In addition to coating technology for thermal barrier coatings for aircraft engines and propulsion systems, we offer a wide range of coating equipment and customized solutions for
Optical coatings, including anti-reflection, infrared, transparent conductive oxides on flat and curved surfaces
Protective anti-corrosion/anti-wear/hard coatings
Coatings for EMI/RFI shielding
Coatings for space optics and telescopes
Depending on your unique requirements, we can tailor a suitable equipment platform that optimizes coating quality and cost per part for your application.
