The introduction of lightweight metals such as aluminium, titanium and magnesium is accelerating from specialist aerospace fields to automotive, mobile phones, notebook PCs and other IT hardware applications. Against this background, surface treatment is assuming a highly significant position. Chrome treatment, which had captured the lead position in surface treatments is being reviewed due to its environmental impact, and on the way to being banned. Based on cutting-edge science and technology accumulated in high-power electronics, IDX can provide revolutionary technology and products that break down commonly held assumptions. And with the progress being made in surface treatments with regard to structural ordinality on a nanolevel, potential is opening up for bio-applications like DNA-chips. |
