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.
Innovative Polymer Coating Systems – Applied by Laser Sintering Technique
During the virtual poster session, we were able to present our successes of laser-applied PEEK coatings and show how multi-layer systems can increase component lifetimes by several orders of magnitude.
Lifting Lightweight Metals to a New Level
Under the title “Lifting Lightweight Metals to a New Level – Tribological Improvement by Hybrid Surface Solutions on Aluminium and Magnesium” we were able to present the amazing results of our…
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.
ÖTG Symposium 2018
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.
Materials Science and Engineering MSE 2018
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.
The European Corrosion Congress – EUROCORR 2018
