Autophoresis

Autophoresis on workpiece surfaces refers to an innovative process in materials technology in which workpieces develop the ability to regenerate themselves and repair minor damage to their surface. This advanced technology uses specially developed coatings and materials that are able to actively react to external influences.

Autophoresis on workpiece surfaces integrates self-healing properties into the coating. In the event of scratches, cracks or other small defects on the surface of the workpiece, an autophoretic process is triggered. This process allows the material to repair itself by cleaning and restoring the damaged areas.

The application of autophoresis to workpiece surfaces has the potential to reduce maintenance costs and extend the service life of components and products. This innovative approach is particularly useful in industries where workpieces are exposed to extreme stress, such as automotive, aerospace and construction. Autophoretic workpiece surfaces therefore represent a pioneering technology that can significantly improve the efficiency and durability of materials and products.
