Your participation is worthwhile. Regardless of whether you have already had contact with the characterisation of surfaces and edge zones or have no previous knowledge. We will show you real applications and answer the following questions together with you:
- How can surface and edge zone properties be precisely recorded using measurement technology?
- How do the properties of a component affect its function?
- How can performance be increased through the targeted adjustment of surface and edge zone properties?
- How can industrially applicable measurement methods be developed and evaluated?

The importance of component properties
-
What role do the properties of a component play?
The performance and service life of a component depend very much on its properties. Two factors, among others, play a decisive role here: surface and edge zone.
The surface of a component is in direct contact with its surroundings. As a result, it is exposed to a variety of stresses that it must withstand over as long a period as possible. The edge zone is the volume area of a component whose properties have been changed by the machining process. The edge zone differs from the core material in terms of its structure and mechanical properties.

Why is it so difficult to measure component properties?
The actual surface measured is often only considered an approximate image of the actual surface. Due to the complexity of the surface structure and the limited resolution of measuring devices, their exact properties cannot be fully recorded. Changes in the edge zone are caused by various processing methods such as hardening, coating or mechanical processing. These modifications strongly influence the functionality and durability of the component.
The precise measurement of surface and edge zone properties requires state-of-the-art measurement technology as well as a deep understanding of the underlying scientific principles and practice in the practical application of these principles. Our experts will be happy to help you with this.
