Funding organisations: SAB-ERDF
Funding reference number: 100767905
Running time: 2026–2028

Project partner: SITEC Industrietechnologie GmbH, CMMC GmbH
Motivation & Objectives
As part of a collaborative project funded by the Sächsische Aufbaubank (SAB) under the ERDF, the Chair of Materials and Surface Engineering at Chemnitz University of Technology, SITEC Industrietechnologie GmbH and CMMC GmbH are developing novel aluminium matrix composite(AMC) materials for laser beam cladding. The aim is to harness the potential of this class of materials – which are lightweight yet highly resistant to wear and corrosion – for additive manufacturing and coating processes.
AMC materials typically consist of aluminium alloys reinforced with 5–30 vol.% SiC particles, thereby exhibiting high mechanical and tribological performance combined with low density. The project aims to establish an end-to-end process chain for the production and processing of suitable AMC materials. This comprises the production of suitable AMC semi-finished products by CMMC GmbH, their conversion into high-quality powders via ultrasonic atomisation at Chemnitz University of Technology, and the processing of the composite powders into wear-and corrosion-resistant coatings by laser beam cladding at SITEC Industrietechnologie GmbH.
Through close collaboration between the project partners, fundamental relationships between material composition, process parameters, microstructure and the resulting properties of the AMC powders and coatings are being systematically investigated. On this basis, high-quality AMC composite powders, tailored to the specific process requirements, are to be produced. The project thus strengthens the innovative capacity of additive manufacturing and coating technologies and contributes to the development of resource-efficient lightweight construction solutions in Saxony.

Motivation & Objectives
Increased environmental requirements for internal combustion engines and economic pressures within the automotive supply industry call for technologically and economically superior components such as bearing shells, as well as a solution that is free from toxic lead, offers higher strength and utilises alternative process routes to the current state of the art. The aim of the project is to develop a holistic manufacturing route for bearing shells using powder processing via thermal spraying, as the requirements for bearing shells make a composite material essential. In this project, aluminium-based alloys are being developed and processed into powders via gas atomisation for application using HVOF. A new burner and nozzle geometry, along with optimised processing parameters, are being developed to enable the coating of such low-melting-point alloy systems. A comprehensive analysis of the coating process, the parameters and the resulting coatings enhances technological understanding and ensures quality. Finally, coated bearing shells will be tested under realistic operating conditions in internal combustion engines, thereby achieving TRL6. Within the scope of this project, Chemnitz University of Technology is responsible for coating development and the associated determination of optimal spraying parameters, and is therefore closely integrated with the sub-projects (powder production, burner prototype design, component post-processing and analysis) of the participating project partners.

Materials and process development for the thermal metallisation of rotor blade leading edges

Motivation & Objectives
The objectives of the Bladeprotect³ – OVBA sub-project are the selection and optimisation of materials, as well as the development of a process for metallising the leading edges of wind turbine rotor blades using thermal spraying. To this end, the proposed project will develop a manufacturing process chain in which the individual technologies implement coordinated sub-processes. A key focus at Chemnitz University of Technology is the development of metallic alloys that enable high bond strength to the rotor blade substrate and provide multifunctional protection within a coating system comprising a bonding layer and a functional top coat. A key aspect of this is the selection of filler materials and the investigation of modifications to the material composition with regard to functional properties. Furthermore, a solution for coating application via wire arc spraying using the previously developed metallic alloys is proposed, which represents a new approach in the field of wind energy. The technical functionalities of these metal coatings are comprehensively characterised in terms of their microstructure, adhesion strength and relevant property parameters. Building on this, the development and optimisation of coating parameters for wire arc spraying are investigated. Furthermore, the systematic investigation extends to the parameters for the surface preparation of the rotor blade substrates. As the coating adhesion mechanism is essentially characterised by mechanical interlocking, the topography and roughness of the substrate contribute significantly to the quality of adhesion. Using fractal design principles, a quantitative estimate of the bond strength – and thus the suitability for the intended application – can be developed. Finally, functional tests are carried out to validate the practical suitability of the coatings. These include electrochemical corrosion and tribological measurement methods carried out in a laboratory setting. The technical functionality of the multifunctional protective coating is characterised by high adhesion strength and a microstructure with few defects, whilst simultaneously exhibiting promising functional properties.

Motivation & Objectives
CoCrMo is the standard alloy for dental implants and is currently produced almost exclusively by casting. 3D printing offers significant advantages in this regard in terms of customisation and design freedom. Against the backdrop of the growing market trend towards patient-specific treatments in dentistry, there is an increasing demand for efficient, bespoke implant solutions. However, a major technical challenge for successful market entry is the surface quality of additively manufactured parts, as the powder-bed fusion process leads to undesirable particle adhesion. The development of a holistic, closed-loop process chain offers a promising solution here to overcome this hurdle and make the technology viable for patient-specific implant restorations.
The aim of the project is to develop a comprehensive additive manufacturing process for CoCrMo dental implants. The focus is on optimising the alloy composition in terms of wear resistance, passivity and biocompatibility. In addition, robust and reproducible printing parameters must be developed for complex geometries. The surface finish is first specifically improved using electrolytic plasma polishing (EPP) to remove any roughness caused by the printing process. Finally, the surface is functionalised using a physical vapour deposition (PVD) coating to further optimise the biocompatibility of the implants and enable optimal tissue integration.
The partners in this collaboration include AddPark and plasotec GmbH (manufacturing and processing), as well as Chemnitz University of Technology and Atatürk University (alloy and powder development, surface treatment and biocompatibility studies).

Motivation & Objectives
Thermal spray coatings are used in numerous industrial applications, including to improve wear and corrosion resistance and to specifically adjust electrical and thermal properties (insulation or conductivity). Due to the highly dynamic nature of the spraying processes and the complex interactions between process parameters, particle properties and coating formation, quality control is of particular importance. However, currently available testing methods are often destructive, time-consuming or can only be used to a limited extent in-process. There is therefore a considerable need, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises, for a fast, cost-effective and on-site testing solution.
The aim of the IGF project ‘CoatAlyse’ is to develop a portable, non-destructive rapid test for the quality-related characterisation of thermally sprayed coatings directly in the production environment. By analysing electrochemical corrosion parameters using gel electrolytes and a customised measuring cell, the aim is to establish a robust correlation between the measurement signal and key coating properties. This will enable quality assessment close to the production process, reduce scrap and sustainably improve process stability. In the long term, ‘CoatAlyse’ aims to enable SMEs to monitor the quality of thermally sprayed coatings more efficiently and to strengthen their competitiveness in a targeted manner.

Motivation & Objectives
Green hydrogen plays a central role in the transition to a low-carbon and sustainable energy future. Efficient production is crucial to utilising hydrogen as a viable and scalable solution, ensuring economic viability, conserving resources and reducing the impacts of climate change. Alkaline water electrolysis (AEL) is particularly well-suited to the large-scale production of green hydrogen due to its robustness and sustainability. It is characterised by high system stability and a long service life. Furthermore, it offers a high tolerance to fluctuations in the power supply, which makes it particularly attractive for operation with renewable energy sources. The performance of the cathodes plays a central role in the overall efficiency of the electrolysis process. It depends largely on the available reaction surface area, the electrical conductivity and the catalytic activity of the material. Cost-effective solutions therefore rely on non-precious-metal-based electrode materials. Nickel-based systems offer a balanced approach in terms of cost-effectiveness and efficiency. One approach to enhancing the performance of such materials is to increase the reactive surface area. Fine-branched, open-pored structures are particularly well-suited for this purpose, as they enable improved gas diffusion and optimised mass transfer. Thermally sprayed coating systems are particularly well-suited to this approach. By precisely adjusting the porosity and internal surface area, catalytic activity can be increased, gas bubble detachment improved and mass transfer optimised, which enhances both the electrolytic performance and the durability of the electrodes. Raney nickel represents a promising basis for thermally sprayed coatings due to its high catalytic activity and stability in alkaline media. In the planned project, new nickel-based alloys will be developed and processed by thermal spraying, with the internal porosity specifically increased through the selective leaching of components of the coating system. This results in a large-area, highly active and structurally stable cathode surface. The resulting porous cathode structure will be tested on an industrial scale to assess its potential for improving hydrogen production efficiency and reducing energy consumption in alkaline electrolysis.

Motivation & Objectives
Green hydrogen is regarded as a promising zero-emission energy carrier for meeting the targets of the Climate Action Plan 2050 and developing a circular energy system. The development of innovative cathode solutions is essential to achieving competitive production via alkaline water electrolysis. This project aims to develop nickel-aluminium-based Raney nickel cathodes, which are produced by thermal spraying and activated by leaching. This combination of processes significantly increases the specific surface area of the open-pored sprayed structure through the partial removal of aluminium-rich phases, thereby improving cathode performance. Novel wire-in-wire materials are used as filler wire additives, enabling alloy modification whilst maintaining homogeneous processing properties. Through detailed characterisation of microstructural and functional properties throughout the entire process chain, the aim is to initiate the cost-effective production of green hydrogen on an industrial scale.

Motivation & Objectives
The AlSiCoat research project is developing a sustainable coating concept for blades used in agricultural machinery. The aim is to replace conventional tungsten carbide–cobalt-based wear-resistant coatings with more environmentally friendly alternatives. These established systems contain critical raw materials such as tungsten and cobalt and are coming under increasing regulatory and environmental pressure.
The project therefore aims to develop novel aluminium metal matrix composites (AMCs) with embedded silicon carbide (SiC) particles. For the first time, these powders are to be produced from semi-finished AMC castings and applied to machine tools via laser cladding. The combination of innovative powder production, an optimised coating process and application-oriented testing is intended to result in wear-resistant, tribocorrosion-resistant coatings.
The sub-project led by Chemnitz University of Technology (IWW) focuses on the development of a test method and a test rig for assessing combined wear and corrosion resistance. To this end, a tribocorrosive, unidirectional abrasion wear test is being developed which replicates the real-world operating conditions of agricultural tools as closely as possible. The results enable a quantitative assessment of the new coatings and support the optimisation of the entire process and materials system.

Motivation & Objectives
The industrial manufacture of components involves the sequential linking of manufacturing processes to produce products with a defined set of properties. The challenges lie in optimising the manufacturing process, addressing uncertainties inherent in the process, and achieving global optimisation across the entire process chain. Multi-criteria optimisation is challenging, as there are conflicting target parameters relating to processing and functional properties.

Process chain optimisation is to be carried out in ProModFun using an experimental approach and data-driven modelling. First, the process chain comprising (1) thermal coating, (2) turning and (3) diamond smoothing will be established to produce a functional surface with a graded increase in hardness close to the surface. The innovative property profile is to be demonstrated using the ‘guide roller’ component as an example. Through thermal coating (primary shaping), surfaces made of manganese hard steel are applied to rotationally symmetrical components and then adjusted in terms of core and edge properties by turning and diamond finishing. The target parameters of the process chain to be optimised are to be influenced as follows: (1) maximise surface hardness, (2) minimise surface roughness, (3) maximise the oxide content of the coating system, and (4) maximise the energy efficiency of surface production.

Sensor technology is integrated into the manufacturing processes and the measurement data is used for modelling. The methodological approaches employed are statistical modelling and multidimensional, pattern-based description using grey-box AI algorithms (fuzzy pattern classification). These enable the quantification of various types of uncertainty and the forward coupling of the process chain. This is followed by the development of a procedure for inverse multi-criteria optimisation across the entire process chain for the purpose of global optimisation.

Motivation & Objectives
Protecting components against wear is a key prerequisite for the performance and service life of technical systems across many industrial sectors. In particular, hardmetal coatings based on tungsten carbide and cobalt (WC-Co) currently represent the state of the art, as they offer very high wear resistance. At the same time, these systems are coming under increasing pressure: cobalt is considered a critical material due to health risks and is subject to regulatory restrictions, whilst tungsten is classified as a critical raw material with potential supply risks. Furthermore, WC-based coatings have limitations in terms of corrosion resistance and high-temperature resistance. There is therefore a growing need for high-performance alternatives.
The research project aims to develop a new generation of wear-resistant coatings based on high-entropy carbides (HEC). These materials consist of several transition metal carbides in approximately equal proportions and form stable mixed-crystal structures with high hardness and thermal stability. Through the targeted selection of elements, the use of critical or health-hazardous raw materials can be reduced and supply chains diversified.
The project involves synthesising suitable HEC compositions, combining them with alternative binder metals – in particular iron-based alloys – and, for the first time, processing them into agglomerated and sintered coating powders with a hard-phase content of 80 vol.%. Wear-resistant coatings are then produced using high-speed flame spraying and laser beam cladding, and are investigated in terms of microstructure, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and high-temperature resistance, and compared with current state-of-the-art coating systems. The aim is to develop a high-performance, cobalt-free alternative to existing cemented carbide coatings.

Motivation & Objectives
The sub-project being carried out by Chemnitz University of Technology as part of the TiHydrAero consortium addresses the funding policy objective of ‘environmentally friendly aviation’. To achieve this core objective and to significantly reduce CO₂ and NOx emissions, new propulsion technologies and energy storage systems must be developed. In this context, hydrogen and lightweight construction are taking centre stage. Additive manufacturing processes, such as laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and laser metal deposition (LMD) – each in combination with high-performance materials – are the key technologies for achieving this objective.
LPBF opens up unique opportunities for designers to optimally tailor the design of system components to the prevailing loads. This design freedom allows for the achievement of the highest functional packing densities, thereby significantly increasing the degree of lightweight construction. Particularly with regard to high-performance materials, this process has already been well-proven for the titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V and is also qualified for aerospace applications. However, this alloy is highly susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement in the α+β phase. It is anticipated that this property can be significantly improved through geometry-dependent process control in the LPBF process. A complementary approach is also being pursued through the development of processing parameters for the LMD process. The locally confined additive material deposition allows for the structural implementation of a layered composite design. The functional separation of the surface and the base material also offers solutions tailored to load distribution. Furthermore, the high design freedom afforded by the locally confined material deposition enables specific repair requirements to be met.
Research is being carried out into the titanium alloy newly developed by the project partner IWT for both the LPBF and LMD processes. Here too, the aim is not only to achieve the highest possible material densities but also to significantly reduce hydrogen absorption by means of optimised grain structures. Should these measures alone not yet lead to the desired result, investigations into shot peening and the diffusion-controlled introduction of impurity atoms into the surface layer will be carried out.

Motivation & Objectives
Thermal spraying of multi-component coating materials offers great potential for the targeted adjustment and enhancement of coating properties. In particular, multi-component oxide systems allow properties such as wear resistance, hardness or electrical properties to be tailored by combining different material components. At the same time, however, complex material- and process-related interactions arise, the influence of which on microstructure and properties has so far been insufficiently understood. This applies in particular to changes in the powder materials during the spraying process, which are determined by process-dependent melting behaviour and possible in-situ reactions between the components.
Against this background, the project aims to systematically investigate the fundamental relationships between powder material, process control, the resulting microstructure and coating properties. The ternary oxide system Al₂O₃–Cr₂O₃–TiO₂ serves as the model system. A key focus is on analysing the process-induced changes in the powder particles and their influence on phase formation and microstructural development within the coating. To this end, experimental powder materials with deliberately varied homogeneity in elemental distribution are being produced.
Through a combined investigation of the spraying process and a detailed characterisation of the resulting coatings in terms of microstructure and functional properties, fundamental relationships between powder material, process, microstructure and properties are derived. The results contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in the processing of multi-component oxide materials in the thermal spraying process and provide a scientific basis for the targeted development of high-performance multi-component coating systems.

Motivation & Objectives
Innovative material and production concepts can be used to fulfil the often contradictory requirements for processing and functional properties. Austenitic high-manganese steels (HMnS) offer great, previously untapped application potential in the field of surface technology. They are characterised in particular by high work hardening under impact and shock loads, which enables applications with superimposed tribological stresses. The production of the powdery base materials by gas atomisation and their processing with modern coating technologies such as HVOF and HS-LMD guarantee a high material quality of the coating system. Mechanical post-processing makes it possible to adjust the property profile with regard to the tribological stress profile. A process combination between thermal coating technologies and the refinement of HMnS coating systems thus enables surface functionalisation with gradation of the coating properties through work hardening. IronWorkCoat is aimed at sustainable coating solutions for applications with superimposed tribological stresses.

Motivation & Objectives
High-speed shear cutting (HGSS) represents an economically and environmentally attractive alternative to conventional cutting processes such as standard, precision or laser cutting. HGSS offers great potential, particularly for high-strength and ultra-high-strength steels, but also for light metals, in terms of producing cut surfaces that can be used directly as functional surfaces without the need for further mechanical, thermal or thermochemical post-processing steps. This is due to the fact that, depending on the material and the process parameters, adiabatic shear bands (ASB) can form during HGSS, within which the material separation then takes place. The resulting cut surfaces are characterised by high hardness, minimal edge retraction and low surface roughness, and exhibit virtually no burr. However, there is currently a lack of fundamental understanding of the mechanisms leading to the formation of ASBs in HGSS. This, in turn, is essential if the exceptional cut surface properties described are to be utilised in a targeted manner. The FUNDAM³ENT research group is therefore dedicated, as part of an interdisciplinary consortium, to investigating the material- and process-related factors influencing the formation of ASBs during HGSS. The overarching aim of the research group is to develop a model grounded in materials science and process technology that describes shear band formation in HGSS as comprehensively as possible, i.e. for various materials and across a wide range of process parameters. This is to be achieved by bringing together expertise from the fields of materials science, materials engineering and production engineering. Key research questions being investigated in more detail by the research group include, for example, the influence of various microstructural components and the deformation history on the tendency for shear bands to form, or the question of whether shear bands can also be produced in highly thermally conductive materials, such as aluminium. Furthermore, research is being conducted into the extent to which the strain rate during the HGSS process determines the microstructure, geometry and properties of the shear bands, and whether a material’s melting or recrystallisation temperature influences ASB formation and the resulting microstructure. Extensive experiments across various strain rate ranges of the HGSS process (10²–10⁵ s⁻¹) not only generate comprehensive process knowledge but also form the basis for a sound understanding of the microstructural effects occurring within the shear band. This is supported by multi-scale simulation methods at both the microstructural and process levels. Systematic investigations into the material behaviour of HGSS cut surfaces under tribological, corrosive and cyclic mechanical loading enable an analysis of the relationships between the shear cutting process, the microstructure and the resulting cut surface properties.

Development of solid lubricant-modified free-flowing alloys to reduce the coefficient of friction in valves – material development and characterisation
Department(s): Thermal coating
Funding organisations: AiF ZIM
Funding reference number: KK5112606SH2
Running time: 2023–2025
Project partner: KVT Kurlbaum GmbH
Motivation & Objectives
Self-flowing alloys are a proven coating material for applications with complex stress profiles. A media-tight and firmly adhering layer is formed by remelting the thermal spray coating. Remelted nickel-based alloys are established metallic sealing systems in the field of valve construction. Reducing friction losses in sealing systems significantly increases cost and energy efficiency. Currently, additional friction-reducing diamond-like carbon layers (DLC) are applied to the remelted metallic surface. Solid lubricants incorporated into the coating represent a promising alternative to the coating composite described above. The aim of current R&D activities is the development of a self-flowing alloy with structurally integrated solid lubricants and their processing in the thermal spraying process.

Motivation & Objectives
The IGF KOPRA project is developing a process chain suitable for large-scale production to manufacture oxidation-resistant C/C profile structures for high-temperature applications. The starting point is pultruded CFRP profiles based on carbon fibres and phenolic resin (Fraunhofer IWU Chemnitz), which are subsequently converted into carbon fibre-reinforced carbon (C/C) via pyrolysis and post-compaction (Chair of Composite Materials and Material Composites). This class of material is characterised by low density, high heat resistance and very good thermal shock resistance, and thus offers great potential for components in industrial furnaces, such as charging racks. A key challenge is also the susceptibility of the C/C material to oxidation, as well as its limited wear resistance.
The work carried out by the Chair of Materials and Surface Engineering (WOT) therefore focuses on the development of suitable ceramic protective coatings, which are applied to the C/C substrates using atmospheric plasma spraying. The aim is to produce dense, firmly adherent coatings that protect the material from oxidation, abrasive wear and the diffusion of carbon into the metallic components being treated. By precisely controlling the phase structure and thermal expansion, the aim is to reduce thermally induced stresses and minimise crack formation under thermocyclic loading.
The work involves adapting the injection moulding process to the specific material, characterising the microstructure, and carrying out extensive functional tests to assess adhesion strength, thermal cycling resistance, wear behaviour and oxidation protection. The aim is to develop a robust coating system for pultruded C/C profiles that enables a significant increase in the service life of the components, thereby opening up new commercial applications for C/C materials in industrial furnace construction.

Motivation & Objectives
Lightweight construction concepts play a key role in achieving global targets, such as reducing the use of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions. Replacing metal components with metal-plastic composites leads to a reduction in mass. Such composites using thermosets are well established in the aerospace sector. However, the high manufacturing costs stand in the way of their widespread use. Replacing them with thermoplastics offers a suitable solution. The resulting bond strength combines form-fit, material-fit and force-fit components and is largely based on mechanical interlocking. Through targeted machining or microstructuring of the metallic component in the composite, it is possible to increase the bond strength and broaden the range of applications.
The project aims to formulate algorithms for evaluating defined surface topographies using fractal geometry, and to determine the relationships between this and interlaminar strength, taking into account chemical surface and interfacial properties. Surface conditioning at different scales and modification with organosilanes are intended to identify the scope of validity of the assumptions made. To specifically increase the bond strength, a process using geometrically defined cutting tools to precisely control the surface microtopography is to be developed.
The production of defined surface microstructures is initially carried out using laser machining. Test specimens machined in this way are used, amongst other things, to determine the measurement conditions for characterising the properties of the microstructures, so that the fractal dimension can subsequently be determined. Similar test specimens are also used for coating with adhesion-promoting organosilane layers. Based on shear strength tests, it can be demonstrated that the joint strength increases with increasing structural density and is further enhanced by coating with organosilane. Ultrasonic vibration-assisted deformational machining (UVADM) is being developed for the microstructuring of the metallic joining partner. Finite element (FE) simulations are used to design the tool geometry and relevant aspects of the machining parameters. Experimental investigations determine the effects of tool geometry and machining conditions on surface properties. The analysis shows a high degree of agreement with the simulations. Correlations between surface microstructure and the strength of the metal–plastic composite have been identified. The results of the investigations have shown that the fractal dimension is a suitable means of quantitatively evaluating these relationships.

Motivation & Objectives
Tungsten carbide-cobalt (WC-Co) carbide coatings have dominated for many years as wear protection coatings in numerous areas of application. The extremely high performance of the coatings is based on the almost perfect interaction between hard tungsten carbide and ductile cobalt matrix. In recent years, however, efforts to replace this dominant coating system have intensified, as the future use of cobalt could be restricted due to its carcinogenic effect (REACH regulation) and tungsten could be restricted by the EU's classification as a "critical raw material" (CRM). The development of alternative coating systems is necessary to improve competitiveness. The performance of niobium carbide-based, cobalt-free hard metal coatings is therefore being investigated as part of the research project. Niobium carbide has a number of promising properties. These include high hardness, good oxidation resistance and improved interactions with cobalt-free binders (e.g. Fe-based) compared to WC. Within the project, several experimental powder materials are produced by agglomeration and sintering and processed by high-speed flame spraying and laser cladding. By adapting the powder material and the processing methods, the aim is to apply high-quality NbC-based hard metal coatings whose property profile is then characterised in detail and compared with industrially used reference systems (WC-Co, Cr3C2-NiCr, (Ti,Mo)(C,N)).

Motivation & Objectives
Increasing the service life of functional surfaces forms the basis for the responsible use of available natural resources. This applies in particular to protective coatings used in machining and cutting applications. The aim of the project is to develop new types of super-hard protective coatings for wood cutting and machining tools. In order to prevent brittle failure of the thin layers when subjected to punctual forces, various surface functionalisation options are being researched. In addition to thermochemical processes for surface hardening, mechanical processes for work hardening are also being considered. The combination of both surface technologies allows the development of hierarchical nano-/micro-coatings. The use of the new generation of cutting tools is aimed at reducing energy consumption and operating costs and extending the application limits.

Project partner: BorTec SMT GmbH & Co. KG, plasotec GmbH
Motivation & Objectives
The market relevance of additive manufacturing processes is increasing as a result of their versatile production technology options in terms of design freedom. However, additively manufactured components often have a comparatively high roughness due to the process, which means that the full potential of additive manufacturing processes cannot usually be utilised, as the post-processing of integrated cooling channels, small holes, etc. to reduce the roughness is associated with a high level of effort. The aim of the research project is to develop a process chain for the surface conditioning of additively manufactured (SLM) components made of 17-4 PH using plasma polishing and low-temperature surface hardening. The central research questions are the possibilities and limitations of plasma polishing to reduce roughness in hard-to-reach areas (e.g. lateral surface of small bores) and the effect of the process-related microstructure and plasma polishing on subsequent low-temperature surface hardening. The aim of surface hardening is to increase wear resistance through the interstitial incorporation of carbon and nitrogen in the edge area without impairing corrosion resistance. The project is also looking at the influence of the powder fraction used on the microstructure and property profile of SLM-manufactured components.

Running time: 2020–2022
Project partner: JELN Imprägnierung GmbH, Putzier Oberflächentechnik GmbH
Motivation & Objectives
The ZIM collaborative project KorroGel is developing a novel method for the rapid and, as far as possible, non-destructive corrosion testing of thermally sprayed coatings. Thermally sprayed coating systems are frequently used for wear and corrosion protection; however, their corrosion resistance can only be assessed to a limited extent using established test methods such as salt spray or standard electrochemical tests, and usually requires a significant investment of time and samples. Furthermore, liquid electrolytes frequently penetrate the porous coating structure and cause corrosion processes on the substrate, making it difficult to assess the coating specifically.
The aim of the project is therefore to develop a corrosion measurement cell which, in combination with high-viscosity gel electrolytes, enables a rapid electrochemical assessment of corrosion resistance directly on the coated component. The gel-like consistency of the electrolyte prevents it from infiltrating the microporous spray-applied coating, so that corrosion attack is confined to areas close to the surface and the properties of the coating can be assessed independently of the substrate. At the same time, this approach allows for a virtually non-destructive test that can be carried out without the need for time-consuming sample preparation.
Working together, the project partners are developing suitable gel electrolytes with a defined corrosive effect, applying thermally sprayed coatings with varying microstructures, and designing and validating the measuring cell. By combining these activities, the aim is to determine reliable electrochemical parameters for the rapid assessment of corrosion resistance. The test method developed is intended for future use in materials development and in in-process quality assurance, thereby enabling a significantly faster and more cost-effective evaluation of coating systems.

Motivation & Objectives
The cold gas spraying coating process offers great potential for additive manufacturing, particularly of metals susceptible to oxidation, as the material is not melted during the process. Furthermore, significantly higher deposition rates can be achieved than with conventional additive manufacturing processes such as selective laser melting or laser cladding. Titanium is regarded as a high-performance material due to its unique combination of properties, including good corrosion resistance, biocompatibility and high strength combined with a comparatively low density. However, due to its high cost, it makes sense for many applications to use composite materials in which titanium is used only on the surface of the workpiece, whilst more cost-effective materials such as aluminium are used for the remaining volume. In this project, cold gas-sprayed pure titanium layers were deposited onto aluminium substrates and subsequently formed into defined three-dimensional final contours by die forging and round kneading.

Motivation & Objectives
The aim of the project is to further develop high-entropy alloys (HEAs) for processing tailored to coating technologies. This will enable cost-effective base materials to be coated in such a way that they meet complex surface protection requirements. A key focus of the research group is to apply this new class of materials to semi-finished products and components with varying coating thickness requirements. This approach supports lightweight construction. The limited use of material ensures the cost-effective application of these expensive complex alloys. Thanks to their outstanding material properties, HEAs offer extensive research and development potential, particularly in terms of higher wear and corrosion resistance, temperature stability and creep resistance. Such alloys are of great technical and economic relevance, amongst other things, for components subjected to tribological stresses at elevated operating temperatures.

Project partner: Fraunhofer IWU Chemnitz
Motivation & Objectives
Thermally sprayed coatings are used in mechanical and plant engineering, as well as in tool and mould making. The required performance characteristics are often linked to the fine surface finish of the components. For example, surfaces in tribological systems often require defined oil retention volumes to ensure dry-running properties. The finishing process therefore influences the tribology of sliding systems, the resulting component wear, thermal effects during component operation, the properties of interacting material surfaces and much more. It must therefore, on the one hand, be adapted to the intended application and, on the other hand, lead to reproducible results in terms of the geometric and material properties of the surface.
As part of a research project, open-pored thermally sprayed coatings were gas-nitrided and subsequently machined to achieve a specific and robustly reproducible surface condition. The machining targets relate equally to the microscale surface topography – i.e. roughness and surface-open porosity – as well as to the microstructural and chemical state of the near-surface boundary zones of the machined components. The components were finally characterised functionally using experimental investigations on a tribometer.
