The main areas for coating application are:
Aerospace Engineering
Power engineering industry
Oil-and-gas machine building
Toolmaking industry
Coatings shall be applied to provide items with new properties (resistance to corrosion, erosion, wear, abrasion, impact stress, providing surface biocompatibility, electrical or radio-frequency characteristics, etc.).
Project Summary
To create in the Russian Federation a new, well-equipped platform for Research and Development in the area of surface technologies, the development and implementation of technologies to meet the requirements of Russian enterprises;
To localize technologies in a number of focus areas, which are key ones to ensure the competitiveness of domestic enterprises;
To enable the specialists of domestic enterprises, scientific research institutes, institutions of higher education and corporate Research and Development centers to have access to Western know-how, the team of scientists and equipment;
To ensure the transfer of world experience in marketing and commercialization of new technologies to commercialize the achievements of Russian Science;
To expand the list of industries of the Russian Federation that have mastered the technologies in question.
