Oerlikon Metco Acquires New Coating Technologies
June 1, 2017
Oerlikon Metco, a materials and surface solutions provider, has acquired assets, technologies and key people from Recentis Advanced Materials Inc. (Canada) to strengthen its position in the coating materials market.
"Recentis Advanced Materials is an innovative start-up that developed novel technologies to master materials manufacturing at high temperatures," said an Oerlikon Metco spokesperson. This technology enables Oerlikon Metco to produce powder materials requiring melting or alloying temperatures above 3,200 °C and/or requiring high purity properties. Oerlikon Metco also acquired the know-how and IP rights for the production of fully alloyed carbides that can be tailored in density to pair with a metal matrix, featuring enhanced impact wear properties in combination with high abrasion resistance.
"This unique technology expands our manufacturing capabilities, will open new applications fields in key markets such as oil and gas, mining, steel, power and aviation, and increases our ability to offer enhanced solutions to critical wear problems faced by our customers," said Dr. Montia Nestler, VP Global Materials Product Management.
"We will be further developing the technology and leverage its benefits to other materials in our portfolio," said Salvatore Musso, Head of Business Line Materials.
