Say goodbye to wear and tear: up to 100 times longer life service for components
5. February 2019
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. Read more
Thin King Awards: Groundbreaking for lightweight construction, ELB recognized for new plastic coating process
2. January 2019
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. Read more
Lightweight construction made possible – through the systematic research work of ELB
1. January 2019
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. Read more
ÖTG Symposium 2018
10. November 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. Read more

Materials Science and Engineering MSE 2018
30. September 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.
