Brake discs hard coating-
High-tech meets responsibility
At the heart of our technology is the high-speed laser deposition process (LMD), also known as high-speed laser cladding. This technology is flexible, competitive, highly developed and ready for series production for Euro 7 and forms the basis of our brake disc hard coating. It ensures maximum precision and process reliability in industrial applications.
Laser cladding creates a metallurgical bond that ensures a material-locking connection between the coating and substrate. The result is hard coatings of exceptional quality - durable, resilient and ideal for series production.
Thanks to the exact energy input of the laser, we work with maximum process precision: minimal heat-affected zones, low deformation and optimum coating properties. This enables us to achieve a uniform thickness, high hardness and defined surface roughness - for constant coefficients of friction and maximum quality.
Your advantages at a glance:
- Highest coating quality & perfect adhesion
- Euro 7 and REACH compliant
- Efficient series process & sustainable
- Process flexibility for gray cast iron, steel and various materials
Since 2020, we have been a reliable project partner for OE and TIER 1-3 within the framework of the Euro 7 standard.
As a series supplier for coated brake discs, we actively contribute to making modern brake systems more sustainable, more efficient and future-proof.
APPLICATIONS
Our high-performance laser coating using LMD (Laser Metal Deposition), based on high-speed laser cladding, is versatile and can be used wherever our brake disc hard coating has to ensure braking performance, a long service life and reduced emissions (Euro 7 standard).
