Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films IST
Laboratory scale PECVD coating unit for the deposition of titanium based hard coatings (TiN, TiC, TiCN, TiB2) and plasma diffusion treatment using additional high temperature option.
Chemical, mechanical and thermal surface treatment
Applying the optimal surface treatment to create the desired functional surface
Surface treatment is a complex interaction of an entire series of decisions that need to be made in order to develop a (surface) system that is appropriate for the customer. The initial step is the definition of the functional surface as regards the requirements. The Fraunhofer IST can hereby provide advice and guidance. The resulting surface treatment usually consists of several steps.
Our service for you – The solution for your application
The configuration of the topography thereby forms the first adapted modification. In addition, a subsequent cleaning in our wet-chemical cleaning facility can be performed, before a variety of surface treatments can be carried out. Subsequently, various surface treatments with nitrogen, boron or metallic elements are available. A further option is offered through targeted decoating by chemical or mechanical means.
We would be pleased to advise you concerning your specific requirements.
