Wear and corrosion of materials causes losses of 3-4% of GDP in developed countries and billions of Euros are spent annually on capital replacement and control methods for wear and corrosion infrastructure. As a result many important industries are dependent on surface engineering of protective coatings, making it one of the main critical technologies underpinning the competitiveness of EU industr ...

The consortium behind this project – a group of European SMEs, surface coating technology providers and engine manufacturers – aims at developing a new innovative type of super lubrication wear-resistant surface coating for internal walls within internal combustion engines.The coating will reduce friction and provide better tolerances between cylinder and piston, decrease the wear of the component ...
