Surface Engineering team has more than 30 years experience in the development, application and characterization of wet and dry Surface technologies ( ie wet : passivation/ conversión, electroplating, electroless-plating, dip-coating, sol-gel etc; dry: PVD-MS and HIPIMS, MW plasma , diffusion process, plasma assisted treatment, characterization, tribology; corrosión protection, etc..) In all afore mentioned processes TECNALIA has industrial or semi-industrial equipment that is used to develope new treatments and coating processes and transfer technology to the industry.
