2 We are the leader in Automotive coatings, you get the benefits Higher Demand for Lower Emissions Petrol engine l/100 km Diesel engine Source: Auto Schweiz Average fuel consumption per 1000 kg vehicle weight There is a constant pressure placed upon the automotive industry to further reduce the emissions of their vehicles which is forecast to tighten in the years ahead. This encourages the use of new materials and innovative treatment processes in order to increase the efficiency of engines and drive trains. Modern vacuum coating technology is one of the key contributors in meeting these new requirements which are inevitable from policy makers in Europe, Asia and America for the coming generations of cars and trucks. Surface Engineering Depending on the requirement and load profile for a given application the component coating can consist of bonding layers, one or several support layers and a functional layer. The coating makeup, the choice of material and the thickness of each layer are optimized for function and economy. Tribobond 41 on piston pin before running in Rz 0.5 µm Tribobond 41 on piston pin after running in Rz 0.1 µm The enhanced tribological properties of Tribobond coatings not only protect the from wear but also polish the counter parts during running-in.

3 State-of-the-art PVD, CVD, and PACVD coatings for Automotive applications Efficiency gains and lifetime increase Ionbond s Tribobond coatings are applied onto to increase the efficiency of engines by reducing friction. Tribobond coatings are often the enabling technology for higher load demand situations and increase the lifetime of the component. Lower friction Tappet (Tribobond 30 / 41 / 42) Piston ring (Tribobond 30 / 42) Piston pin (Tribobond 41 / 42) Hard and wear-resistant coatings, in particular carbon-based Tribobond 40 series coatings, play an important role as they offer low friction, high load bearing capabilities, and extended component lifetimes. Applied on in the valve train they reduce frictional losses in lubricated operation by up to 40 %. Wear-resistant surface Modern common rail and unit systems operate at pressures of up to 3000 bar. Fuel becomes very abrasive on metal surfaces at these high pressures, and surfaces need protection. Tribobond coatings are applied to valve needles, control and pumping pistons. Increased surface hardness Self-lubricating Low wear properties Reduced friction, galling, erosion and fretting Temperature resistance up to 350 C Chemically inert

4 ISO/TS certified quality in volume production With more than 25 years experience in vacuum-based coating technology Ionbond has developed a reputation as a dependable and innovative partner to the automotive industry and its subsuppliers. Application-optimized solutions are engineered in our coating centers to suit small series right through to mass production. All Ionbond centers for automotive component coatings in Europe, Asia and North America are certified according to ISO/TS and follow their customers quality standards. Component and Decorative Coatings Apart from engine and drive train many parts in the interior and on the car body benefit from coatings. Decorative coatings on plastic in various colors guarantee the perfect look for a lifetime. Functional coatings on exposed can eliminate the need for servicing. Unlike many conventional surface finishes Ionbond s PVD technology is environmentally friendly with no toxic byproducts and waste. THE SURFACE ENGINEERS
