ACES - Synergy
The project takes a comprehensive approach on sustainability to provide a pathway that could contribute to the climate target through development of advanced thermal spray (TS) coatings for application in diverse sectors.
New generation TS processes can address a wide range of applications and complex requirements and are seen as an extremely promising one-stop coating technology for solving the challenges faced by industrial partners. Elementary understanding of particle impact, coating build-up, interaction of phases, and microstructure-property-performance relationships is essential to develop the next generation of sustainable TS coatings for demanding applications. The industrial partners are Höganäs, Scania, Siemens Energy, GKN Aerospace, Azelio, ANDRITZ, ABB, and Thermal Spraying & Engineering (TSE). The project is divided into three sub-projects: Advanced thermal barrier coatings, Advanced coatings for tribology and repair, and Novel processing and applications.
