As part of „CONGRA“, innovative graphene-based conversion coatings will be developed for use on aluminum alloys (for the aerospace industry) and nickel surfaces, which
– have high corrosion resistance
– high compatibility with typical aeronautical coatings (gel coats, primers, etc.)
– possibility for local application and repair
– offer advantages ecologically and economically
– in-line with REACH: replacement of highly toxic chromium (VI) compounds essential for chromating
– possible other applications may be defined by industry partners of the consortium
Tecnology:
– innovative production, modification, functionalization and analysis of graphene based materials – targeted adaption to commercial conversion coatings
– broad portfolio of analytics: SEM, EDX, Raman Spectroscopy
– Electrochemical investigation
– Technical investigation
– Application of DoE (Design of Experiments) concept for finding best solution in a multiparameter landscape without experimenting: lower costs, targeted development for industrial applications
