Airbus approves Oerlikon Balzers' UK facility
Surface solutions provider Oerlikon Balzers has achieved accreditation from Airbus for its Milton Keynes coating centre (UK).
Friction and wear are the major factors limiting the performance and service life of tools and precision components. Oerlikon Balzers' coatings are an effective - and often the only possible - means to decisively improve their operational performance.
Lighter construction, ever-increasing performance with ever-smaller dimensions, as well as environmentally friendlier concepts for operation and maintenance: these increasing demands on systems impose correspondingly greater requirements on components and tools. Oerlikon Balzers' coatings, such as the BALINIT family of coatings prevent wear and corrosion on critical components.
Many aerospace suppliers rely on Oerlikon Balzers’ PVD (physical vapour deposition) coatings and benefit from Balzers’ global network of coating centres.
Oerlikon Balzers coating centres in France and Luxemburg are already Airbus approved.
