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.
Targeted laser application of PEEK makes it wear-resistant
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.

Getting better layer by layer
When other companies have long been at a loss, the developers at ELB – Eloxalwerk Ludwigsburg Helmut Zerrer GmbH really sit up and take notice. After all, solving problems for which no one has yet found a solution is their specialty.
WOMAG: ceramization of light metal for extreme surface requirements
CERANOD® plasma ceramic is a technology for the surface treatment of light metal alloys and is preferably used for aluminum and magnesium alloys. The process significantly improves the durability of components, as the ceramic surface is extremely resistant to corrosion and wear.
