Profile of business unit

We develop new, marketable and competitive applications for modern materials and coatings and determine their limits, particularly for systems subject to tribological stresses. In cooperation with our project partners, we improve the properties of materials for use under various operational conditions. We aim to optimize the performance of tribological systems by developing special materials and surface treatments.

In order to optimize a material’s performance, it is important to know what loads it is subjected to. The material and surface properties of new combinations of materials and the changes they undergo in use must also be fully understood. This is achieved by using mechanical, tribological and physical/chemical experimental methods that have been developed specifically for practical applications.
