Balzers enters research agreement in Austria.Balzers, a global leader in PVD PVDabbr. peripheral vascular disease PVD Peripheral vascular disease, see there coatings, has inaugurated a research laboratory in Innsbruck, Austria, together with three cooperating partners: Plansee AG (Austria), the Montan University Leoben (Austria), and the University of Innsbruck It is currently the largest education facility in the Austrian Bundesland of Tirol and third largest in Austria according to student population, behind Vienna University and Graz University. (Austria). The focus in research is on the development and characterization A rather long and fancy word for analyzing a system or process and measuring its "characteristics." For example, a Web characterization would yield the number of current sites on the Web, types of sites, annual growth, etc. of innovative, thin hard coatings for tools. Scientists at the Christian Doppler Johann Christian Andreas Doppler (November 29, 1803 – March 17, 1853) was an Austrian mathematician and physicist, most famous for the hypothesis of what is now known as the Doppler effect which is the apparent change in frequency and wavelength of a wave that is perceived Laboratory for Advanced Hard Coatings will develop customized coatings for specific manufacturing processes. They will analyze the composition and structure of the coating materials coating material, n a biologically acceptable, usually porous nonmetal applied over the surface of a metallic implant with the expectation that tissue ingrowth will occur in the pores. Often a carbon polymer or ceramic substance. , coating growth, and induced coating structures, as well as the associated coating properties and real-world application behavior. Balzers is convinced that the potential of PVD coatings and their fields of application are far from fully exploited. "We are active in a domain where the possibilities seem to be endless. We have many ideas as to where we can explore new avenues for PVD coatings and are now developing the fundamentals for this journey with respected experts as research partners," explains Dr. Wolfgang Kalss, head of R&D in tool coatings at Balzers. "For this reason, we decided to join forces with Christian Doppler Laboratory for Advanced Hard Coatings." Balzers Inc., Booth 2748, www.rsleads.com/408tp-192 |
