Innovative materials research

For targeted and efficient optimization of material properties.

Material research for the highest quality

The material properties of our products must be specifically optimized according to customer requirements. Improvements in strength, hardness or corrosion resistance can in turn cause deficits in terms of processability, environmental compatibility and costs. Here it is important to carefully weigh up and develop in order to ensure both the highest quality and maximum efficiency. We use technologies such as metallography, thermal analysis and simulations to achieve this. The results are new alloys and improved process technologies - individually tailored to the requirements of the respective product.

Cost efficiency

With improved process technologies and new, optimized alloys, we increase the cost efficiency of cast parts while maintaining consistently high quality. We think holistically and take material, energy and scrap costs into account.

Thermal conductivity

Heat conductivity is essential for the area of application and the product properties of cast parts. This is why, for example, our materials research ensures that the heat on brake discs is reliably transferred to the environment even under high loads.

Crack resistance

Our products must function perfectly even under high loads. To ensure the best possible quality, we start our materials research as early as the casting process to prevent cracking during production and use.

Wear behavior

Special alloys and surface coatings are being developed to increase wear resistance. This allows cast parts to be used for longer and increases efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
