3D – more freedom – maximum protection
15. September 2021
Additively manufactured components made of light metals such as aluminum, titanium or magnesium offer enormous degrees of freedom in geometry and complexity. Our Ultraceramic® finishing can protect such individual components from corrosion in the long term. Read more

Tuned Micro Cosmos For Multi-Macro Value
23. June 2021
It was a pleasure to present our results on laser patterned ceramic and hybrid surfaces for friction and wear minimization.
With the DLIP (Direct Laser Interference Patterning) strategy, we can further increase the positive properties of our surfaces in the direction of friction and wear minimization. Read more
Publication in the magazine "Lubricants": "Lifting Lightweight Metals to a New Level—Tribological Improvement by Hybrid Surface Solutions on Aluminum...
13. June 2021
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. Read more
