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.

Surface & Coatings Technology

Increasing the application fields of magnesium by ultraceramic®: Corrosion and wear protection by plasma electrolytical oxidation (PEO) of Mg alloys. Due to its low density and high strength, magnesium has increasing potential in the lightweight area, especially as a material for structural components.
