Automotive - Advancing productivity, sustainability
and profitability in the industry
INDUSTRY CHALLENGES
■ Focus on increasing manufacturing productivity and
operating efficiency of cars & reduce environmental
impact
■ Reduce fuel consumption, emissions and weight
"
Engine downsizing (e.g. using less cylinders under
higher pressure) causes higher stress on smaller parts
■ More corrosion issues from exhaust gas recycling,
start-stop systems, turbo-chargers
"
Higher torque transmissions with more gears
(therefore more synchronizer rings)
Reducing friction, wear and mechanical losses
■ Demand for ecofriendly cars and environmentally
friendly solutions (e.g. replacing hexavalent chromium)
Client needed to increase fuel efficiency
of engines due to emission regulation
SOLUTIONS
Delivering solutions and equipment for thin film and
thick layer coatings to the whole automotive value chain
Coatings lead to better performance and durability due
to wear protection and reduced corrosion and friction
■ Oerlikon technologies permit the use of new and lighter
material that reduce weight or friction losses in the
engine
"
Coatings support the development of new and suitable
design parts the number of car parts coated by
Oerlikon increased by a factor of 10 since 2008
Coatings increase reliability and quality of material such
as brake disc coatings to support manufacturers in their
effort to increase car safety further while significantly
reducing fine dust and fuel consumption
