Patents
| Process | Description | Patent Number |
|---|---|---|
| GLISS-COAT® | GLISS-COAT® is the designation of dry lubricant coatings developed at AHC for the reduction of friction and wear. The variant GLISS-COAT® S-1 is a special coating system applicable for minimising welding splatter from sticking to shielding gas nozzles. | DE 195 07 472 C2 |
| HART-COAT®
|
HART-COAT® is a special anodic process applicable for all aluminium-based materials. The produced surfaces are especially hard and wear resistant and also satisfy requirements of increased corrosion prevention, as well as other functional properties. | EP 0 112 439 B1 |
| An additional patent was issued for the HC PLUS 2 process for creating a very slick HART-COAT® layer. This process is characterised by the depositing fluorocarbon polymers into the pores of the oxide layer. | DE 41 24 730 C2 | |
| Ultra-pure and extremely wear-resistant HART-COAT® layers are created on aluminium die-cast parts by treating an aluminium layer in aprotic electrolytes and then hard anodising. | DE 197 51 256 C2 EP 0 919 645 A2 |
|
| When fine silicon-oxide particles are deposited into the pores of a HART-COAT® layer and reacted with silanes, very wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant layers are formed. | DE 296 80 628 U1 | |
| KEPLA-COAT® | KEPLA-COAT® is an anodisation process in electrolytes under plasma conditions to produce ceramic layers on aluminium-based or titanium-based materials. The layers serve primarily as protection from wear and corrosion and possess outstanding fatigue endurance. | DE 41 04 847 C2 DE 41 39 006 C2 EP 0 280 886 B1 EP 0 545 230 B1 US 5 385 662 A US 5 811 194 A JP 2 912 101 B2 |
| KEPLA-COAT® black is a variant process to produce jet-black and light-resistant KEPLA-COAT® layers in a single step. By virtue of its low light reflection, applications of these layers are ideal for optics. | DD - 299 595 A7 DD - 299 596 A7 US 5 035 781 US 5 075 178 |
|
| It is also possible to permanently deposit fluorocarbon polymers into the KEPLA-COAT® layers to increase the anti-frictional properties and corrosion resistance. | DE 42 39 391 C2 US 5 487 825 A JP 5 261 852 A2 |
|
| The ceramification of light metal pistons for the automotive industry is a special, protected application of KEPLA-COAT®. | DE 296 80 358 U1 EP 0 839 271 B1 |
|
| Another special application in the field of medical technology is the coating of implants. | DE 43 03 575 C1 | |
| MAGOXID-COAT® | MAGOXID-COAT® is an anodisation process in electrolytes under plasma conditions to produce ceramic layers on magnesium-based materials. The layers serve primarily as protection from wear and corrosion and possess outstanding fatigue endurance. | EP 0 333 048 B1 US 4 978 432 A JP 5 051 679 B4 |
| MAGPASS-COAT® | MAGPASS-COAT® is a chromium-free, anorganic conversion layer for magnesium-based materials intended as a temporary corrosion prevention, as well as undercoat for subsequent painting or bonding. | DE 199 13 242 A1 WO 00 / 56 950 A1 |
| SELGA-COAT® | SELGA-COAT® is a process of selective galvanic coating of aluminium-based materials, as well as other ferrous and non-ferrous metals. | FR 2 574 095 A1 |
| SILA-COAT® | Using SILA-COAT®, porous oxidic layers are sealed on aluminium, magnesium, titanium and steel by dipping or spraying in a sol-gel solution. This helps prevent corrosion and wear. | DE 196 80 596 C2 WO 97 / 05 302 A1 |
| Ceramic-coated light-metal pistons for combustion engines. | EP 839 271 | |
| Coloured conversion coating. | EP 1 266 048 | |
| DNC 471, DNC 571, DNC 771 | Lead-free electroless nickel alloy (and process for producing such alloys). | EP 1 330 558 DE 100 52 960 US 6.911.269 |
| META-COAT® | Metallization of functional plastics. | DE 197 29 891 DE 103 17 797 DE 103 17 793 DE 103 17 789 DE 103 01 135 DE 103 27 365 |
| SIC-9-DURNI-DISP | Connective element for the frictional connection of components. | EP 1 564 418 |
| Electroless nickel alloy (PTFE process). | DE 102004047423 | |
| DURALLOY® | Process for coating components with a bearing metal. | EP 1 254 973 |
| Process for chrome plating. | EP 0 761 844 |
