Provider:

Chair of Surface Engineering in Mechanical Engineering

Our Profile:

The Institute of Surface Engineering focuses on research and development in joining and surface technology. The methods used include Thermal Spraying, Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), Weld Overlay, Hard Soldering, and Brazing. Our dedicated and open-minded team addresses current issues such as environmental protection and resource conservation. As key technologies for solving these challenges, industrially relevant surface and joining techniques are applied in a practical manner.

Current research priorities in the field of Thermal Spraying include coatings that not only have a protective effect, but can also be used functionally.

This includes, for example, a heating function.

By applying an electric current, the coatings can act as resistance heating elements and release thermal energy near the surface where it is needed.

These layers are used in ongoing research projects in plastic injection molding tools.
