Project: TCG – Advanced surface treatment for increased efficiency of gears and parts with complex shapes

Acronym Effigears (Reference Number: 115140)
Duration 03/03/2021 - 03/04/2023
Project Topic TCG is a novel surface treatment that minimizes friction losses and wear of components of complex shape. EffiGear aims at developing the process into a robust and reliable treatment solution especially targeting electric vehicle transmissions, enabling lowered energy consumption, wear and minimized acoustic emissions. The target is to develop and verify the process together with industrial partners and customers and have a market introduction ready process at the end of the project.
