Application of nanostructured thin bionic layers to enhance the wear and friction behaviour of forming tools by thin-walled sheet forming (B05)

该研究项目的主要目标是通过使用高离子溅射工艺（HiPIMS）处理的铬基硬质涂层，适应和改善功能表面的摩擦学性能，以满足板料-大块金属成形的特定需求。除了涂层的开发，机械加工，等离子体蚀刻和氮化以及涂层的后处理用于开发更有效的涂层/基材系统，随后将用于保护仿生物表面结构。

The main goal of this research project is to adapt and improve the tribological properties of functional surfaces for the specific demands of sheet-bulk metal forming by using Cr-based hard coatings, processed by highly ionized sputter processes (HiPIMS). In addition to the development of the coatings, mechanical processing, plasma etching, and nitriding as well as a post-treatment of the coatings are used to develop more efficient coating/ substrate systems, which will be subsequently used to protect filigree bionic-inspired surface structures.
