Advanced coating substrate preparation by shifted and ultrafast laser texturing Project ID: *TH75020001 Provider: Technological Agency of the Czech Republic Period: Jun 01, 2021 - May 31, 2024 Recipient -- coordinator: University of West Bohemia -- Jiří Martan Co-recepient(s) / PI(s): Co-investigators from IPP R. Mušálek, M. Vilémová, T. Tesař, J. Medřický, J. Klečka Aims of the project: The primary aim of the ADVENTURE project is to strengthen the Thermal Spraying (TS) coating technology by introduction of the Laser Surface Texturing (LST), a clean, flexible, reproducible, environmentally friendly and resource-efficient technology, to the substrate preparation. Specific objectives are: OBJ 1: Development and up-scaling of the LST laser technology to enable longer lifetime of thermal spray coated components and new coating-substrate combinations. OBJ 2: Development of optimised coating-substrate interfaces by use of the LST laser technology as an interface preparation technique before application of thermal spray coatings OBJ 3: Development of innovative surfaces and interfaces by use of the LST laser technology and thermal spray technologies OBJ 4: Preparation of conception for application of results in targeted industrial sectors
