Land Systems

Land platforms operate in abrasive, corrosive, and thermally demanding environments that accelerate wear across hulls, drivetrains, running gear, and exposed mission systems.

Mjolner’s advanced coatings are designed to improve wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and thermal durability across critical land-system components, helping extend service intervals, reduce sustainment burden, and preserve operational availability.

Enhancing Land System Life-Cycle

Abrasion & Surface Wear

Improves service life for gears, shafts, driveline parts, and other heavily loaded components operating under abrasive conditions.

Corrosion
& Oxidation

Protects exposed systems against water, chemicals, and oxidation in harsh environmental conditions.

Mechanical Fatigue

Superior shock tolerance reduces microcracking and part fatigue

Thermal Stability

Retains mechanical integrity through rapid thermal cycling

Performance Advantages

Wear Resistance

Nano-gradient structure withstands severe abrasion from sand, grit, and high-load contact surfaces. Shields gears, shafts, and driveline components from scoring and fatigue, extending operational life in all theatres and conditions.

Corrosion & Oxidation Resistance

Multi-layer metal-ceramic barrier blocks moisture, de-icing agents, hydraulic fluids, and thermal oxidation. Prevents pitting, rust propagation, and scaling that compromise mechanical integrity.

Impact Absorption

Graded composition disperses shock from heavy impacts and torsional loads, reducing the onset of microcracks, spalling, and structural fatigue.

Thermal Stability

Maintains performance under sustained temperatures without structural breakdown or loss of adhesion - especially in high-impact, high-erosion zones where monolithic ceramics often suffer brittle fracture under combined thermal and mechanical loading.

Land Systems Applications

Engines & Transmissions

Protects turbine parts, gear sets, bearings, and shafts from galling and abrasive wear, ensuring operational continuity well beyond standard service intervals.

Suspension & Steering Systems

Shields kingpins, tie rods, ball joints, and pivot points from pitting, corrosion, and deformation under heavy load.

Hydraulic Systems

Preserves sealing surfaces on cylinder rods and pistons, maintaining fluid integrity in grit-heavy or mud-laden environments.

Tracks & Driveline Components

Reduces wear from sand, rock, and debris ingress, preventing premature failure and loss of mobility.

Turret Bearing Races

Coating prevents galling, pitting, and wear from the immense rotational loads and shock impulses of large-calibre firing. Maintains smooth traverse performance under sand, dust, and salt exposure.

Gun Barrels (MBT/SPG)

Enhances barrel liner durability against thermal cracking, erosion, and propellant gas wear. Extends barrel life, preserves rifling geometry, and delays re-lining or replacement.
