Application demonstrator
- transfer of results from small flat laboratory samples to 3D shaped components or flat coils with high processing speed in industrially relevant scale
- equipment demonstrator for functionalising and coating of components:
- robot-conform technology head to be used for coating of immobile big parts for aeronautics & automotive industry
- coating system for flat steel coils at high speed for steel industry
Aeronautic application: adhesive bonding of CRP and Titanium
- increased life-time of bonds
- substitution of handcraft by automated equipment
Automotive application: adhesion of paints on thermoplastic materials
- reduction of failure rate
- cost reduction by application of not adhesion optimized plastic material
Steel industry: adhesion on stainless steel and pre-painted steel
- increase of adhesion strength for e.g. sandwich panel for construction (steel skin + lightweight core)
Technology head being mounted in a test bench with DC arc plasma source
- adhesion and durability of Titanium bonds in the same range as the adhesion demonstrated using the laboratory coater head device
- adhesively bonded CFRP test specimen show a failure in the substrate which indicates higher bond strength of the interface than the cohesion of the substrate
