Precision Controlled Surface Texturing
TWI has developed an EB technique called Surfi-Sculpt- that enables the creation of a wide variety of surface textures through the manipulation of the electron beam.TWI is patenting the technique.
- Applicable in a wide variety of situations and to a wide variety of metals
- One major example is Comeld™ surface modification for enhanced bonding in composites such as carbon fibre to metal
- Location of elements can be precisely controlled
- Allows the creation of a wide range of hole and slot patterns
