Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology IWS Dresden
The atmospheric plasma spray (APS) as well as flame spray processes are available at IWS for the coating of components made of steel, light metals or other materials with metals, hardmetals and ceramics.
The main frame of work of the Thermal Spraying group consists of the development of new spraying technologies (such as suspension spraying), new coating solutions (such as coatings for heating elements, thermoelectric modules or hard metal coatings for components subjected to high stress), as well as the characterization of coatings (for example, laser acoustic surface waves – Lawave®).
