In the field of metal nanotechnologies offer the possibility to realize materials and objects with new chemical, physical, mechanical and technologically innovative times to achieve surface coatings can provide to a conventional metallic material unique features otherwise not obtainable.

Some of the first results now consolidated relate to the fields of application of wear-resistant, high-strength materials, the tool materials, coatings and corrosion resistance.

Through the technology of synthesizing metal powders can be obtained components of complex shapes at competitive costs compared to traditional technologies and alloys can not be achieved from the merger

Examples:

• Increased surface hardness (greater resistance to wear, abrasion and scratching)
• Resistance to weathering and corrosion in saline environments or aggressive
  resistance to oxidation
• Resistance to thermal cycling / extreme mechanical
• Properties tribiologiche controlled
• Micro-cleaning of surfaces contaminated by organic compounds
•     aesthetics
• biocompatibility
• Lubricating effect: for high speed mechanical components such as valves, shafts, bearings, turbines, etc..
• Effect of thermal barrier for the dissipation of heat generated during processing
