Fraunhofer IWS is represented as a cooperation partner at the Dortmunder OberflächenCentrum DOC® with a project group.

The Fraunhofer Project Group at Dortmunder OberflächenCentrum DOC® develops customized solutions for surface coating in strip processes. The aim is to improve features such as corrosion resistance, scratch resistance, electrical conductivity, or even cleaning properties by means of innovative coatings.

The scientists consider the entire production system in order to find the most effective processes for each application, solutions that are both cost-effective and resource-efficient. In addition to laser processes and physical vapor deposition (PVD), Fraunhofer IWS researchers are also developing arc spraying and high-temperature procedures for strip processing. Task-specific plant engineering and development are also part of the portfolio.
