Higher engine efficiency and safety, increasing comfort as well as environmental protection and wear resistance: the importance of support systems in passenger and commercial vehicles is steadily growing.

 

High tech products from H.C. Starck provide functionality and, in many instances, enhance the pleasure of driving. Here are just a few of the countless applications:


Modern engine electronics, with the help of capacitors made from tantalum powder, bring optimum performance to the streets. Durable advanced ceramics are used in common rail engines and diesel glow plugs. A special AMPERIT® coating offers abrasion protection in piston rings.

 

Diesel particle filters made from sintered metal, coated with AMPERSINT® MAP are resistant to high temperature and corrosion - they significantly improve the discharge rates for soot particles and thus increase the efficiency of these systems.
 
Already in the forefront, hard metal tools are necessary for the machining of engine blocks and cylinder heads, for which we supply the raw materials. H.C. Starck supplies a large portion of the worldwide demand for amorphous boron used for the fast ignition of airbags. Heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders in commercial vehicles are reinforced with special flame-sprayed chromium carbides.
