Coatings, Balinit

Oerlikon Balzers Coating India specialises in PVD coatings. Part of the Oerlikon Group, the company offers Balinit coatings. These coatings are just a few thousandths of a millimeter thick but harder than steel. Balinit low-friction coatings are extremely wear-resistant and chemically inert. The optimum coating is determined on the basis of both conditions of use and economic considerations. The material and properties of Balinit coatings can be selected to match the customer's specific requirements. Finding use across a multitude of industrial sectors, including the auto sector, a typical coating thicknesses that can be reproduced in mass-production lies between 0.5 µm and 4 µm. Sharp edges, textured or mirror surface finishes and close production tolerances remaining unaltered, Balinit coatings multiply the performance and service life of drive components in vehicles, machines and equipment. Balinit on gear drive and bearing components enables higher torques with smaller component dimensions; reduces danger of scuffing and pitting; permits operation without lubricants, and reduces noise emission. This is all made possible by the low frictional coefficient and the high wear resistance of the carbon coatings but, above all, their outstanding running-in behaviour. In the area of engine components, Balinit coatings help to reduce frictional losses in the engine, protect engine components against wear and increases their load bearing capacity and durability, and ensures satisfactory operation with starved lubrication and on cold starting. In high-pressure injection systems, Balinit coatings provide effective protection against abrasive and adhesive wear. They also increase the load bearing capacity and durability of the system in addition to ensuring emergency running under starved lubrication conditions.
