And it demands high-quality, economical and reproducible solutions. From slip coatings of moving parts for reduced friction, high-quality hardening and tempering for automotive components, to protection against corrosion or scratch-resistant paintwork, for decades Aalberts surface technologies has been a powerful partner for the industry. Our name is synonymous with the development, manufacture and refinement of functional and heavy-duty surface coatings and heat treatment for metallic and non-metallic materials. With over one thousand successful projects completed, we continue to fine-tune our expertise and gain a wealth of experience that our customers benefit from. Every day, we treat several million parts in our plants. While each year, Aalberts surface technologies functionally refines more than one billion components. There is virtually no automobile in the world that does not contain a component that we have treated. innovative designs Aalberts surface technologies offers a wide range of high-quality treatments for the automotive industry. The treatments’ properties are different or combined. On the production side, our products accelerate processes, increase service life and lead to reduced costs. This benefits the customer in numerous ways, from high-performance engine components, lower fuel consumption, a velvety feel to the interior, and durable components with excellent corrosion protection. Tailor-made properties can extend the service life of moving components and reduce maintenance costs. high demands, dependable results Our treatments for cars are extremely effective and meet the high standards and strict regulations of the automotive sector and its suppliers. Proven processes such as annealing in vacuum, hydrogen brazing, dip spinning, fully automatic wet painting or hardening and tempering are used to apply optimum protect to automotive parts or production machines. Our comprehensive quality management always ensures the latest automotive industry standards are adhered to, and guarantees compliance with industry-specific requirements for material composition, environmental specifications and treatment tolerances. Corrosion protection, friction reduction, wear protection, increase strength or scratch resistance are just some of the demands we place on our treatments. Depending on which component you produce for the automotive sector, additional individual treating properties can maximise component safety and performance. There are many optimisation possibilities. benefits of automotive industry corrosion protection Excellent rust protection is one of the most important treating for the automotive industry. And with good reason: In the case of load-bearing parts, corrosion can represent a safety risk over the long term Oxidation has a negative effect on the value of the vehicle Car paint no longer adheres to corroded areas and forms blisters Repairs are costly – red rust often reappears in the same places HART-COAT® AND DURNI-COAT® - ESSENTIAL PROTECTION SELGA-COAT® - SELECTIVE COATING ZINC FLAKE COATING - RUST PROTECTION CATHODIC DIP PAINTING - DUPLEX COATING TEMPCOAT® - ANTI-FRICTION-COATING more options in downsizing & lightweight construction Smaller, lighter, smoother. The downsizing demands placed on engine components are challenging and require ever-higher quality components. Our systems provide customers’ components with the material properties they demand. austempered cubic capacity reduction control pistons for co₂-reducing hydraulic systems treating for smooth production processes One of the core competences at our plant in Göppingen-Voralb is the valve-slide, which is used in automatic transmissions. The surfaces of about 60 million items per year are hard anodized using the HART-COAT® process. Per day, this is approximately 250,000 pieces divided over a three-shift production model. individual solutions for heat and surface treatment in the automotive industry High-quality workmanship, durability, innovation and environmental protection are the foundation of long-term success in the automotive industry.
