Functional coatings laboratory

We provide tailored, cutting-edge solutions for advanced material functionalization

This laboratory develops advanced coatings using technologies such as plasma spray, PVD, HVOF, sol-gel, cold spray, and pack cementation. It operates on metals, ceramics, and cermets within controlled environments, combining thermal, chemical, and physical treatments in multilayer configurations. These enable properties such as anti-wear, antibacterial, mechanical and thermal resistance, and corrosion protection.
