Mechanical and Automative Engineering

Materials and component development

• Application-oriented materials selection and development
• Integrated ceramics design
• Material, component and process simulation
• Material, component and process characterization (aging and wear mechanisms)
• Materials and component testing
• Defect evaluation and failure analysis

Ceramic production

• Sample, prototype, and small-scale serial production under customer-specific aspects
• Proof of readiness for series production
• Upscaling to industrial-scale production

Process monitoring and optimization

• Developing of test and monitoring systems: from sensors to hardware/software, and ultimately to systems
• Defect monitoring of machine parts subject to heavy loads (e.g. cracks, corrosion)
• Autonomous sensor systems for machine calibration and optimization of plant operation
• Product labeling for extreme process conditions
• Wide selection of in-line and non-destructive test methods
• Improved wear behavior and durability
