Abstract
|
The main
objective of the TriboHEA project is to develop novel HEA (High Entropy
Alloy) coating technology for applications requiring medium-to-high friction and
wear resistant surfaces. Coatings with such tribological characteristics are
especially desirable by machine and automotive industry for improving the
performances and the life time of friction components, such as clutch plates.
The projects will focus on the technology development for synthesis of
mm-thick HEA coatings to engineer the friction surfaces of clutch plates,
subject on which the end-user partner is very interested. The project is
planning to advance the coating technology from TRL3 to TRL6 by demonstrating
the coating performances in the end-user's clutch test rig. To realize that,
the TriboHEA Consortium combines one research institution from Romania, one
SME from Romania, and the end-user industrial partner from the Basque Country
