IntroductionFor decades, the automotive industry has had an increasingly signifcant impact on both regional and global economies.

Total vehicle production, worldwide, has risen in the past fve years to over 50 million vehicles annually, and car owner-

ship density ranges rom 800 cars per thousand people in the US, to 5.8 cars per thousand in the Peoples Republic o

China.

While these statistics promise sustainable growth or the mid-range uture, the automotive industry is currently acing sti

challenges in a number o key areas:

Globalization Increased competition, smaller share o markets Pressure to customize and segment vehicle production

Need or standardization and support or advanced manuacturing across all markets

Continued goal o a lower break-even point, becoming more cost eective

Need to create a successul blend o lean, transnational production capabilities Brand erosion

Industry Consolidation Increased scale and complexity o relationships with subcontractors and suppliers

Pressure to lower component costs

Outsourcing to reduce development costs and associated overhead, with suppliers assuming system responsibility

Need or complete solutions

Technology & Innovation Search or exible manuacturing, new design concepts, vehicles that are easier to assemble

Regional environmental legislation

Shorter product lie cycles

Higher, more stringent material requirements

More sophisticated consumer demands

Even though these challenges aect all aspects o the industry, they can be met and overcome with the correct set o re-

sources.

In order to compete eectively in this ast-paced and increasingly complex, competitive environment, enterprising au-

tomotive executives constantly optimize their business models and improve existing, or create new, technical solutions.Success requires competent and reliable partners, who can provide solutions and services that increase exibility, speed

operations, lower costs, provide technological advantages, and provide the edge needed to continue as successul play-

ers in an increasingly difcult market environment.

AdvantagesAdvantagesSurface Enhancement Engineering Advances Your Goals

For many years, customers have turned to Sulzer Metco

or technological solutions that are eective and proftable.

As a global leader in surace engineering solutions and ser-

vices, we help solve the surace technology challengesaced by the automotive industry.

Surace enhancement engineering basically changes the

surace o a material by additive processes such as ther-

mal spray, plasma PVD (physical vapor deposition), CVD

(chemical vapor deposition), plasma nitriding or nitrocar-

burizing (PNCwith or without oxidation) to deposit a thin

flm or coating that cost-eectively enhances the physicalproperties o the substrate. In eect, this coating creates a

new material superior to either one by itsel.

Classication of Surface Treatments

Coating thickness [m]

Substratetemperature[C]

The advantages o surace enginee-

red thermal sprayed coatings aremany:

Coatings can be deposited ata high rate

There is a broad range o

coating choices

Small areas as well as large

can be coated

Coatings can be applied to almostany metallic substrate

The process imparts little heat to

the substrate, avoiding distortion

o metal suraces

Reproducible coating quality Portability options

No volatile organic compounds

(VOCs)

No drying time required

The coating process can be inte-

grated into mass-production lines

Our PVD thin flm coating technology

and plasma-supported heat treatmenttechnology provide customers with

a exible choice o riction, wear and

corrosion protection. Coatings can betailored or:

Tribological eatures, e.g.,

The undamental issue regarding any surace treatment islie cycle economics. These systems not only provide du-

rable, unctional coatings, but do so in an environmentally

sound, economical manner.

Plasma-based PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition)

Coating Services and Equipment or Application oMAXIT Low Friction & Hard Coatings Provides durable,

non-stick, coatings or plastic injection molds and metal

stamping dies. Used with high quality automotive interior

and exterior components or decorative and wear protec-tion applications, and to apply low riction coatings or en-

gine components to reduce uel consumption.

Example: PVD coatings or engine parts, gear wheels and

clutch hydraulic pistons were initiated by racers or high-

er speed and less wear and tear. Today, the potential or

uel economy and better riction properties through thisprocess is gaining widespread use in passenger vehicles.

Plasma Nitriding & Nitrocarburizing

or application o IONIT Wear Resistant Coatings Plas-

ma-nitriding and plasma-nitrocarburizing, processes ordiusing nitrogen and carbon into the surace o steel-

based materials, activated by plasma, and resulting in very

hard suraces.

Example:Automotive crankshats The crankshat per-orms one o the toughest jobs in the engine. Not onlydoes it ace extreme heat and pressure rom contact withthe connecting rods, but it must have a low riction coe-fcient and fght corrosion caused by petroleum products.Auto manuacturers have ound they can improve crank-

shat wear resistance greatly by use o the IONIT

plasmaprocess or nitrocarburizing. The results o this low temper-ature process are reduction o riction coefcient, greatercorrosion resistance, and prevention o scufng and metaladhesion due to increased physical stability o the surace.

Friction Technology for Higher Performance and Substantially Improved Gear Shifting


Synchronizer

Besides the time-tested molybdenum riction linings, the

new carbon riction linings ensure a more compact syn-

chromesh architecture with higher perormance and sub-stantially improved gear shiting. In automated manual

transmissions, it is already possible to achieve gear shit-

ing times o less than 60 milliseconds. Furthermore, our

synchromesh components rom ormed sheet metal oer

the substantial weight savings and cost reductions.

Friction discs

Sulzer EUROFLAMM develops and manuactures ric-

tion discs or wet applications. We can meet the high de-

mands imposed on the components by the various ap-plications (limited slip dierentials, our wheel drives,

automatic power transmissions) through the optimized

use o our various riction linings. In particular the minimal

wear and the constant coefcients o riction are convinc-

ing arguments or our customers.

Torque converter lock-up clutches

In automatic transmissions the torque converter lockupclutch serves to transmit the engine torque directly to

the power transmission, thus achieving a signifcant re-duction in uel consumption. The use o carbon riction

linings simultaneously guarantees an optimization o the

gear-shiting process and reduces the noises and vibra-

tions typically associated with converters.

Gear-shifting components

For selector orks and shiting components we oer spe-

cial molybdenum and brass coatings that guarantee high

wear resistance. Even in automated manual transmis-

sions with their high axial gear-shiting orces, our coat-ings have proven their high efciency over time.

We can partner with you to deliver a turnkey solution that

meets your surace treatment needs. Below are examples

o how our sales, design, engineering and manuacturing

talents are coordinated and ocused to meet your speci-ic requirements:

Automotive Cylinder Bore Coating System

Working in close cooperation with major automotive man-

uacturers, Sulzer Metco developed advanced spray tech-

nology to deposit a thin (150-200 microns) plasma coatingdirectly onto aluminum alloy cylinder bores. This process

eliminates the need or cast iron or composite cylinder lin-ers. The controlled porosity o the plasma coating helps to

signifcantly reduce the coefcient o riction through a mi-

cro-cavity lubrication system. Fully automatic spray acili-

ties, such as those created by Sulzer Metco, can be inte-grated into any production setup in line or cell. Prototype

engines using our cylinder bore coating system were op-

erated or up to 400,000 km (250,000 miles) without need

o repair. Following on this example, thousands o produc-

tion cars have been manuactured using our cylinder boresolution. This technology works or gasoline as well as die-

sel engines and Sulzer Metco also applies it to high peror-

mance race cars, go-karts, motor bike engines, aeroplanes

and heavy duty diesel engines.

Automotive Transmission ComponentsSulzer Metco provides the worldwide standard solution

or thermal spray coating o synchronization rings, clutch

discs and gearshit orks. About 50% o all cars worldwide

have manual transmissions, and drivers are demanding

quick, smooth, compact and comortable shiting. Our total

coating solution meets that demand.

Thermal spray coating with molybdenum wire, applied in

a highly automated system, guarantees total process re-

liability and coating reproducibility. The coating provides

the correct balance between meshing and gear separa-tion giving the right eel when a driver changes gears. In

the example o the sequential transmission, we oer a pat-

ented, hard carbon coating or synchronization rings to

meet increased perormance and service demands.

Gear Selector Shaft and Other Applications

IONIT OXtreated gear selector shats oer an optimum

combination o wear and corrosion protection to the com-

ponent. IONIT OX is a combination o plasma nitriding,

gas nitrocarburizing, plasma activation and oxidizing. Cost

eective and oering a great improvement in mechanical

properties, such as improved atigue limit, many automo-tive products currently utilize this process:

Plasma Coated Engine Cylinder Bores

Cut Costs, Reduce Friction, Improve Fuel Use

with a Longer Lasting Solution

Endeavoring to meet cost and weight constraints, as wellas uel economy standards, the auto industry has beenmoving away rom heavy cast iron engine blocks to lighteraluminum alloys (AlSi).

To help enable this process, Sulzer Metco has developedan advanced plasma spray technology or coating AlSi cyl-inder bores that eliminates the need or cast iron sleevesor composite liners, saving space and weight. Wear resis-tance o these coatings is an order o magnitude betterthan cast iron and the heat ow between the combustion

chamber and the engine block is much more predictable.Weight o the cylinder block, as well as the pitch distancebetween bores, is reduced.

Result: a lighter, more compact and fuel-efcient en-gine, with signicantly reduced oil consumption andlower emissions.

The main challenge o an industrial solution or the coatingo cylinder bores is not only to develop a suitable materialand process, but also to integrate that process into a cost-eective, high-volume, ully automated production coating

system. We have met this challenge.
