April 23-24, 2024 | San Sebastian
The event is organized by CIDETEC Surface Engineering and is partially funded by the Horizon EU SURE2COAT project, some of the results of which will also be presented at the event (see bottom of the web page for detailed project information).
In collaboration with BILASURF sister EU project.
Why a Workshop on scaling up surface treatments?
Industries are immersed in a continuous development of new technologies to fulfill with a quick response the requirements of the market. Successful cutting-edge technologies arise from fundamental research performed at laboratory scale that, before being implemented at an industrial scale, need to be scaled up in pilot plants. Increasing the dimensions and operating conditions of a technology requires an in-depth analysis to adjust and optimize the whole process.
The aim of scaling up is to identify critical features at each stage of the process and to validate it before its implementation in an industry. Often the scaling up of a technology is focused on the initial stages of a process (e.g., surface preparation, fabrication of the component) and neglects last steps such as the surface treatment of the final component. But, which are the main challenges found during the scaling up of a surface treatment and how can we address them to ensure a successful upscale? “Bridging the gap between lab to industry” is a workshop designed to give insight into the scaling up of different surface treatment processes shedding light on these issues.
