Poor corrosion resistance and low hardness of metals such as magnesium can now be remedied with a new process: Laser beams are used to melt the high-performance plastic PEEK onto a component precisely where it is subjected to particular stress.
Eloxalwerk Ludwigsburg (ELB) is not actually a lightweight construction company, but the medium-sized company from Ludwigsburg-Neckarweihingen received the audience award at the first state-wide Thin King Awards of the Baden-Württemberg Lightweight Construction Agency.
Thanks to the systematic research work carried out by ELB® – Eloxalwerk Ludwigsburg – on the protective armoring of corrosion-sensitive light metals, it is now possible to depict a component self-protection system that enables integrated and extended multi-material use.
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.
