Thermal barrier coatings

• manufacture of metallic and ceramic coatings by EB-PVD (typical thickness 5 to 300µm)
• development, testing and qualification of evaporation material (ingots)
• improvement of coatings, e.g. for increased application temperatures, reduced thermal conductivity and prolonged lifetime
• testing of lifetime under thermo-cyclic or thermo-mechanical loading including determination of failure mechanisms
• analytical characterization of coatings (SEM, TEM, EDX, XRD, oxidation properties etc.)

Oxidation protective coatings

• manufacture of coatings by magnetron sputtering (e.g. for Ti alloys) with typical thickness of the coatings between 10nm and several µm
• development of coatings, e.g. for increased operating temperatures of Ti alloys and Ti aluminides, maintenance of the mechanical properties of the base metal, and optimized life
• testing of lifetime under isothermal or thermo-cyclic conditions, determination of oxidation properties, evaluation of failure mechanisms
• analytical characterization of coatings (SEM, TEM, EDX, XRD, oxidation properties etc.)
  

Light  metal composites

• Manufacturing of prototypes and components of fibre reinforced titanium
• Coating of monofilaments with different metal alloys
• Feasibility studies for new MMC-systems
