Materials IQ: Extreme Tribology
Our new Materials IQ workshop will focus on on the cutting-edge topic of «Extreme Tribology». The attendees will gain an insight into current requirements and innovative solutions for tribological systems in extreme operating and environmental conditions. This includes very high speeds (E-drives), start-stop type motion (robotics), very high loads, and extreme temperatures.
The workshop will focus on specific tribological challenges drived by recent high-tech applications such as:
- E-mobility, electric motors and gearboxes
- H2 drives and mobility
- Industrial robotics, automation and fast production systems
- Wear-resistant and lubricative coatings – applications in the areas described above
- Energy efficiency in tribology to contribute versus a net zero carbon world
We are happy to announce a lineup of high-profile speakers from industrial and academic research, covering these important topics. Based on relevant use cases, they will demonstrate innovative testing, materials and coating concepts to solve the new challenges.
This event is aimed at researchers, engineers and practitioners concerned with friction, wear and lubrication for advanced industrial and mobility use. Further target groups include technology experts from the fields of sensors and actuators, as well as circular economy.
Participation is free of charge. We look forward to welcoming you to Brugg after the summer break!
