Diamond and ceramic particles are widely regarded as the gold standard for high coefficients of friction, yet frequently necessitate the implementation of additional coatings or inserts. However, specific laser structures that do not require supplementary components offer a novel alternative. The pivotal consideration is the selection of the most appropriate structure to achieve the desired…
Professor Hasse presented IKAT´s latest research findings on the potential of laser structuring on the surface of components for increasing friction coefficient during the Materials, Hybrids session at the FVV Spring Conference on March 30th, 2023. The project, „Tribomaps – friction coefficient enhancing laser structures,“ was completed in collaboration with the Laser Institute (Prof. Löschner)…
On 11.10.2018 Mr. Müller defended his thesis and was rewarded for his outstanding performance! The work on the topic „Statistical analysis of a standardised test method for determining static friction values“ was able to validate the usage of the standard normal distribution to the test method as expected on the basis of a large random…
