Intake Manifold

The main driver in automotive - beside quality and repeatability - is cycle-time. Produce as much as possible in short time. For welding of small components, we offer the perfect solution to meet this requirement with our patent Plasma Spot Welding process.

Hardbanding

In Oil-Drilling applications turning parts show significant wear at very specific spots. The hard banding technology by plasma processes offers a very smart and heavily approved solution to this challenge.

Engine Valves

By coating the sealing surface of the valves with special powder alloys, the life time increases significantly. Today most of the engine valves are treated with preventive coatings.

Liquid Natural Gas Tanks - LNG

More than a box of metal sheet!

Liquid natural gas tanks in are high-tech monsters inside a Tanker. They need to handle huge temperature differences from -160°C to +40°C or more, if still empty. Also the volume changes during transportation, as liquid gas continuously evaporates. To compensate these severe environmental impacts, the walls are engineered to compensate for these changes.

Print for Space

Rocket Science?

Although its not rocket science it has the potential to make things easier in the Thermosphere and above. The talk is about Plasma Metal Deposition (PMD) for space applications.

Because space is an uncomfortable place it is essential to use materials with high toughness, one of those is titanium. Due its excellent corrosion resistance compared with its specific strength it is a superior material for such applications. One of its drawbacks is its high price and that’s the point where PMD is entering the game.
