SFB 442: Environmentally Friendly Tribosystems by suitable coatings and fluids with respect to the maschine tool

442合作研究中心的目标是开发高性能的环保摩擦系统。因此，建立了一种开发摩擦系统的新方法。该研究项目的重点是在标准机床中使用的摩擦系统。新的环保流体被开发出来，并在摩擦系统中测试，应用新的表面涂层材料。目的是将重要的摩擦学特性从流体转移到这些基材上。走这条路，某些添加剂不再需要，缺失的特性必须采取特殊涂层材料。这需要不同学科间的跨学科合作。这就是为什么合作研究中心由工程师、材料科学家、化学家和医生组成。为了确保对任务的确定方法，合作研究中心被分为三个部分，分别处理摩擦学系统组件的生产，组件的测试和应用以及模拟。

Goal of the collaborative research centre 442 is to develop environmentally friendly tribosystems of high performance. Therefore, a new method of developing tribosystems has been established. The research program is focused on tribosystems as being used in standard machine tools. New environmentally friendly fluids are developed and tested in tribosystems applying new surface coated materials. Aim is to transfer important tribological features from fluids onto these base materials. Taking this route certain additives are no longer required and the missing characteristics have to be taken on by specially coated materials. This needs an inter-disciplinary cooperation among different cross faculty areas. This is why the collaborative research centre consists of engineers, material scientists, chemists and medics. To ensure a determined approach to the tasks the collaborative research centre has been structured into three parts dealing with production of the components of the tribological systems, testing of the components and application as well as simulation.
