    Cédric Lancieux

    Technical Director, Euroteknika 

    "We needed to call on a company skilled in vacuum coating to ensure lasting quality for our products. It was thequality aspect that drew me back to them. We make products that stay in patients' mouths; quality is paramount in our business, and it's an aspect that Thermi-Platin more than lived up to. What Euroteknika needs is to differentiate itself in the market, and the coating produced by Thermi-Platin is a differentiator. Today, they are even proactive and solution-oriented. They come to us with real answers."

    Claude Madelmont

    Borg Warner Supplier Selection Manager

    "We specialize in what's known as the powertrain; that's everything to do with the engine and transmission. These parts have electromagnetic and wear-resistance characteristics. This is a very important point. The THERMILYON Group specializes in controlled atmosphere nitrocarburizing. This involves heat-treating the part to make it harder and more resistant to wear. This is a state-of-the-art treatment. Trempelec processes 15,000 to 25,000 partsat a time".

    Jérôme Lefebvre

    Purchasing manager at ERMO-tech

    "We specialize in the cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, medical and fine wall sectors, as well as in high-precision, high-speed closures. Thermi-Platin treats certain parts of our molds to extend their service life. All contact, friction and sliding between parts need to be hardened with DLC, a surface coating. Today, we have an average lead time of 3 days with Thermi-Platin. Thermi-Platin has been able to offer relevant products and prove its responsiveness to the needs of the ERMO group. They also provide us with a partner and technical support in our search for solutions.

      nitriding furnace
      Which metals can be treated in a controlled atmosphere?
      A heat treatment operation takes place in three stages, each of which involves different parameters, notably the duration of each stage, the temperature applied and the ambient atmosphere. When in contact with certain materials, the presence of a gas can trigger a reaction that modifies the chemical and physical characteristics of the parts placed in the heat treatment furnace.

      Which metals can be treated in a controlled atmosphere?
      metal parts in various alloys
      What are the different types of alloys?
      Alloys are composed of several chemical elements, of metallic or non-metallic origin. They often have improved properties compared to pure metals, such as greater mechanical strength or resistance to corrosion. Often made from iron, copper, nickel, titanium or aluminum, they are materials in their own right, with improved mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion.

      parts treated by gas nitriding
      All about gas nitriding
      Gas nitriding is a nitrogen-based heat treatment process. The technique was developed at the beginning of the last century in the armaments industry, and is now used in a wide range of industrial sectors. Because of its very low processing temperature and the many properties it confers on [...]

      induction-annealed parts
      What is induction annealing?
      Annealing is one of the best-known heat treatments for metals. Induction, on the other hand, is a heating method based on the diffusion of an electromagnetic current transmitted by an inductor to the surface of parts. The combination of these two technologies is ideal for applying a localized annealing treatment to metal parts.

      When should biocompatible coatings be used?
      A biocompatible coating must integrate perfectly with the natural organism in which it is found, without degrading or impacting it in any way. The biocompatibility of materials is thus essential in the medical and food industries, where treated products inevitably come into contact with the human body. A number of tests can be carried out to [...]

      What are the alternatives to hard chrome?
      Hard chromium has long been used in industry and offers numerous advantages. Versatile, it guarantees high resistance to wear and corrosion, as well as excellent friction properties. On the other hand, while its manufacture seems to be very economical, it does require certain environmental precautions. Finished products are not [...]
