4 THE SURFACE ENGINEERS Be it at the very beginning of product design or for product improvement, we offer engineering support to your design and engineering teams. Our engineers select standard coatings or design customized coatings for the best and most economical system solution. Medical Medthin Series Certified biocompatible coatings for implants and instruments. Patients and surgeons benefit from longer lasting implants and instruments coated with biocompatible Medthin coatings. Ionbond understands that it takes much more than just a great coating to achieve the desired component and system performance. All steps before and after the coating process must be thoroughly engineered in order to achieve the desired results. This includes the selection of the materials best suited for the product, the definition of the necessary surface finish, the cleaning process prior to coating, and many other critical decisions. Likewise, the proper posttreatment of the coated product is vital in many applications. Therefore, we work closely with our customers in a collaborative fashion in order to design the best process throughout the complete production cycle. This is Surface Engineering as we understand it. Automotive DLC coatings for increased engine efficiency and reduced environmental impact. Millions of components for the automotive industry are coated with low friction DLC every year.

5 Forming and Molding Increased service life and better quality of tools and parts. Coatings on dies and molds increase the lifetime of the tool and enhance the surface quality of the finished products. Deco, Sport & Luxury Decobond Series Superior hardness, wear resistance, and a metallic look. Decorative coatings enhance the look and resilience of many designer products. Components & Aerospace Extended load carrying capacity, reduced friction, improved wear behavior. Coatings on industrial components enhance their lifetime and increase the load carrying capacity. Cutting Tools For every machining requirement and work piece material, from low to extremely high cutting speeds. Higher cutting speeds and longer lifetime are the result of matching the coating to the workpiece materials.

6 CVD, CVA AND CVI COATING EQUIPMENT Ionbond s equipment division offers the most state-of-the-art technically advanced coating systems based on chemical vapor technology. Dedicated process equipment is used in several industries to enhance the wear, friction and temperature properties of tools and components. Used by numerous customers as well as in Ionbond s own coating centers, the systems prove their reliability every day. They are engineered for highest productivity and low maintenance while offering the flexibility of fast material and process changes to accommodate mixed portfolios of coatings.
