Tribological Coatings • We offer smart tribologic coatings such as low friction, high endurance, scratch resistant coatings specially formulated for your substrates, for your materials. The adherence of coatings are substrate dependent. Furthermore, the lifetime of coatings depends on environmental parameters such as humidity, temperature...etc. Therefore, before considering a coating, contact us for our opinion. We can choose the most suitable coating materials and coating technique that fits your substrates and application. TRIBOLOGY is the science and technology of interacting surfaces in relative motion. It includes the study and application of the principles of friction, lubrication and wear. The word ''tribology'' derives from the Greek (''tribo'') meaning ''() rub'' (root -), and (''logos'') meaning 'principle or logic'. Any product where one material slides or rubs over another is affected by complex tribological interactions, whether lubricated like hip implants and other artificial prosthesis or unlubricated as in high temperature sliding wear in which conventional lubricants can not be used but in which the formation of compacted oxide layer glazes have been observed to protect against wear. Tribology plays an important role in manufacturing. In metal-forming operations, friction increases tool wear and the power required to work a piece. This results in increased costs due to more frequent tool replacement, loss of tolerance as tool dimensions shift, and greater forces are required to shape a piece. A layer of lubricant which eliminates surface contact virtually eliminates tool wear and decreases needed power by one third. Contact AGS-TECH Inc. for details of capabilities. Do you need design assistance ? Do you need prototypes ? Do you need mass manufacturing ? We are here to help you.
