Material testing 2021: Surface technology for additive manufacturing

Even though the “Materials Testing 2021” conference, organized by the Steel Institute VDEh in cooperation with the DGM (German Society for Materials Science) and the DVM (German Association for Materials Research and Testing), unfortunately had to switch to a virtual event at short notice, our R&D department…

Top story from WOMAG: Our surfaces offer 1,000 times protection for additively manufactured aluminum components

Our ULTRACERAMIC® wear protection, based on PEO (plasma electrolytic oxidation) for additively manufactured aluminum alloys reduces the wear rate by at least a factor of 1,000. This not only extends the service life of metallic 3D-printed components, but…

Publication in the magazine “Lubricants”: “Lifting Lightweight Metals to a New Level—Tribological Improvement by Hybrid Surface Solutions on Aluminum…

We are pleased about a new publication in the magazine “Lubricants” and about our possibilities to raise light metals to a new tribological level.
Our hybrid surfaces can further expand the application range of light metals through the novel laser coating process, because this makes aluminum but also magnesium particularly resistant, friction is significantly reduced as well as wear on the counterpart.
