Tribological coatings

The tribology of ceramic materials and layers depends on the conditions of use. It is essential to replicate the conditions of use to gain an understanding of tribological systems.

Through a combination of application-oriented experiments, differentiated surface analysis and numerical simulation, we develop the optimum solution in consultation with material developers, component manufacturers and users.
