Automotive

Battery and fuel cell performance begins with material purity and stability. Our advanced high-temperature processes purify and treat anode graphite, removing impurities and enhancing structural integrity for superior energy storage and conversion efficiency.

Wide bandgap materials are vital for next-generation power electronics in electric vehicles. Our crystal growth systems produce for example Silicon carbide (SiC) crystals with exceptionally low dislocation densities, boosting the reliability, efficiency, and service life of main drive inverters and power semiconductors.

Diffusion bonding enables exceptionally strong, reliable, and leak-tight joints for demanding automotive applications. It is ideally suited for high-performance heat exchangers and microreactors that must withstand thermal, mechanical, and corrosive loads.

Using state-of-the-art plasma we create functional surfaces and durable ceramic protective coatings that shield components from corrosion, abrasion, high temperatures, and environmental stress — extending service life and boosting reliability.

Our CVD technologies, including fluidized bed reactors, enable precise, uniform coating of battery anode materials (such as silicon-graphite composites) to enhance capacity, cycle life, and overall performance while mitigating issues like volume expansion.

Our advanced ultrasonic scanning microscopes (acoustic microscopy) detect hidden defects — such as delaminations, voids, or cracks — in critical components like power modules, sensors, LEDs, and electronics. This non-destructive testing ensures long-term reliability in electrified vehicle systems.
