News for Coating

Batteries are everywhere. But their production can be energy-intensive and relies on chemicals that are under environmental scrutiny. Researchers at the Fraunhofer IWS in Dresden are working with colleagues from Taiwan to change this. Their goal is a new manufacturing method that reduces the need for problematic chemicals and lowers energy consumption.

Rethinking metal coating: lasers instead of melting

An excavator that lasts longer. A factory that uses less energy. Researchers at Fraunhofer IWS in Dresden have developed a solution for exactly that. With a new laser direct cladding process, they can protect metal parts from wear more effectively than before – while reducing energy consumption by up to 90 percent. | more
