PVD coating
High quality standards apply in the aerospace industry to ensure safety. With our high-performance coatings, we have high-quality products that fulfil these quality requirements. The DIN EN 9100 and Nadcap accreditation of our PVD department in Schnaittach confirm our high-quality standards. We are also listed as an official Rolls-Royce supplier. Other major engine manufacturers are of course also among our customers.
The coating process is specifically adapted to your parts and is frozen as required in the aviation industry. This enables us to provide you with an optimum, consistent quality.
You can find our PVD product solutions here.
Application examples
EXXTRAL®-NT coating of copper coils for aerospace applications with specially developed fixation to maintain the shape during the entire coating process.
