WZR - Ceramic Coatings

Ceramic coatings are always used when other materials reach their material limits. For example, the conditions and requirements at the interfaces of metallic constructions are often different from those in the volume of the material itself. These can be, for example, thermal stress, excessive wear, electrical conductivity or contact with melts. In these cases, a ceramic coating can achieve improved and/or additional functionalization of the surface, extend the service life of components and save costs. The application of ceramic layers thus results in a functional separation of the surface and the actual material, with the aim of optimally adapting the surface properties of the component to the environmental influences.
