Description
The H2020 project NewSkin OITB is pleased to announce that one of the Newskin final events will take place at the Bonfiglioli S.p.A headquarters / EVO Plant on the 4th December 2024, 14:30-17:30.
During the event the NewSkin Open Innovation Test Bed (OITB) facilities and services for tribological applications, textures and coatings will be introduced. Specifically, NewSkin OITB partners together with some NewSkin OITB users will present our state of the art offering in the field of innovative tribological applications, textures and coatings for the automotive, gearbox manufacturing, and mechanical engineering sectors.
NewSkin OITB is a European funded Open Innovation Test Bed (OITB) and includes a consortium of 34 European entities (including: industrial associations, companies, research centers, and universities) and a growing innovation ecosystem. The main goal of the NewSkin OITB is to enable manufacturing companies to apply innovative surface treatments that enhance the physical and mechanical performance of their components.
Among the main benefits brought by the developed nanotechnologies, the following will be discussed at the Bonfigliolio hosted event:
- friction reduction
- lubrication (enhanced tribology)
- material hardness
- vibration dampening
