Deposition of Hard Coatings<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Surface preparation of workpieces<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Removal of old coatings chemically and\/or with vapor, vacuum cleaning. Polishing is also possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deposition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Deposition of mono- and multilayer PVD coatings using TiN, TiCN, TiAlN, TiAlCN, CrN, and AlCrN with a PVD system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Measurement of coating thickness, hardness, and roughness; organization of surface structure studies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Design work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mechanical design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We prepare 3D models and drawings of the equipment in development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipment Construction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We organize prototype manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Collaboration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Internal collaboration within TalTech provides access to significant opportunities for developing new products using more advanced technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The laboratory participates in TalTech and industry development projects and contributes to applications for new externally funded projects. Previous projects include support for the development of an X-ray generator, advancement of 3D printing technology for implant production, studies of wear mechanisms of diamond coatings, and the development of technologies for recycling textile and electronic waste.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
