Tribology in Industry and Research Tribology – Quo Vadis? A cross-scale view of tribology. Due to its interdisciplinary nature, tribology is strongly influenced by the natural sciences on the one hand and the engineering sciences on the other.
Process development for the laser-based production of site-selective tribological coating systems on 3D surfaces. Funding line: KMU-Innovativ, BMBF.
Highlight-Lecture: Laser-applied high performance tribological coatings on light weight materials. To meet the increasing requirements of triboligical systems in e.g. the automotive power train we developed a laser-based coating process wherein the light weight substrate can be coated by laser sintering of a high performance polymer.
Vortrag: Increasing the field for application of magnesium by ultraceramic®. Corrosion and wear protection by plasma electrolytical oxidation (PEO) of Mg alloys.
Lightweight components made of magnesium and other metals can now be specifically protected against corrosion and wear. Laser beams are used to melt the high-performance plastic PEEK onto the surface.
Poor corrosion resistance and low hardness are the disadvantages of magnesium as a lightweight material. However, components made of magnesium and other metals can be specifically protected against corrosion and wear using an innovative process.

The head of our R&D department, Dr. Anna Buling, will talk about the laser-based production of polymer coatings for tribological applications. Process development for the laser-based production of site-selective tribological coating systems on 3D surfaces.
ELB exhibited the latest coating processes at the Baden-Württemberg International booth. ELB Managing Director Jörg Zerrer and Dr. Anna Buling from the Research and Development Department explain the application and advantages of polyetheretherketone coating by means of double-beam laser on aluminum and magnesium.
When other companies have long been at a loss, the developers at ELB – Eloxalwerk Ludwigsburg Helmut Zerrer GmbH really sit up and take notice. After all, solving problems for which no one has yet found a solution is their specialty.
