DIATEX - Fadenkontaktierende Bauteile aus CVD-Diamant: Neue Wege zur Lösung der Verschleißprobleme in der Textilindustrie

Thread-prominent and thread-contacting elements are subject to strong wear. Oxide ceramics that are currently used fail to provide adequate abrasion resistance. The Institut für Textiltechnik, Aachen and the Fraunhofer Institut für Angewandte Festkörperphysik, Freiburg, have examined molded articles and simple thread-contacting elements with inserts from CVD Diamond. Due to economical considerations, the applications of these elements were examined and evaluated in the laboratory and field tested in the textile industry. A goal of the research project is the establishment of diamond-coated devices.
