Surfaces mean protection: protection against corrosion and wear, against excessively high or low temperatures, against acids, cleaning agents and much more. This protection increases quality and durability. But coatings can do even more: with the right mix of materials, they increase the functionality and performance of products. And they also improve efficiency and aesthetics thanks to optical upgrades and a pleasant feel.

Forming

The material properties essentially determine the wear behavior of components. The knowledge of the influence of hardness, strength, surface structure, and stress condition of the components is therefore fundamental in production.

For example, special, tailor-made manufacturing processes can be used to introduce residual compressive stresses into component surfaces or to change the surface hardness locally.
