Innovative CERODEM® AlCrN PVD coating revolutionizes valve technology

Innovative CERODEM® AlCrN PVD coating revolutionizes valve technology

When valves reach their limits - and how a new coating changes that

Extreme heat. Aggressive chemicals. Constant mechanical stress.
In the world of industrial valves, these stresses are part of everyday life - and they take their toll: wear, corrosion and failures that cost time and money.

But what if there was a solution that not only protected valves, but also made them virtually indestructible?

The answer: the new CERODEM® AlCrN PVD coating
Our newly developed sputtered CERODEM® AlCrN PVD coating (aluminum-chromium-nitride) sets new standards in surface technology. It was specially created for applications where conventional coatings have long since reached their limits.

What makes AlCrN so special?

1. it withstands temperatures of up to 700 °C - without any significant corrosion damage.
2. it gives valves an extremely hard and wear-resistant surface.
3. it is applied at just 180 °C - perfect for heat-sensitive materials.

and it provides smooth, rework-free surfaces that minimize friction and improve tightness.

Real success: The case story

A leading manufacturer of energy systems was facing a problem: its valves in high-temperature environments were regularly failing. The consequences were costly downtimes and high maintenance costs.Nach dem Umstieg auf unsere CERODEM® AlCrN-PVD-Beschichtung änderte sich alles:

1. doubled maintenance intervals
2. significantly reduced spare parts costs
3. improved efficiency due to low-friction valve movements

The result: greater operational reliability, less downtime and a sustainable reduction in overall costs.

For whom is this technology a game changer?

Our AlCrN PVD coating is ideal for companies that want to take their valve technology to a new level - especially in:

✔️ Energy and power plant industry

✔️ Chemical production plants

✔️ Automotive technology (e.g. injection systems, exhaust gas recirculation)

Where heat, pressure and aggressive media prevail, AlCrN shows its full strength.

Conclusion: An investment in future security

Our sputtered CERODEM® AlCrN PVD coating makes the difference: it protects valves better, drastically extends their service life and sustainably reduces operating costs.

Make your processes more resilient, efficient and future-proof.
