Abstract

The main goal of De_Amatech Eureka project is to develop new actuators and
new materials, a^s well as technology, for the production of piston valves with much better
dynamic properties and lesser energy consumption as compared to the traditional ones made
of metals [1].
In this work we report the results of our investigation on model systems advanced
material/surface coating. Several types of advanced materials have been developed and tested
for manufacturing of parts for pneumatic and hydraulic valves, and theil' basic mechanical
properties have been determined. Attempts have been made to use FTIR and micro-Raman
spectroscopy for characterization of these systems aimed for the productioir of the alternative
materials for piston valves. PVD magnetron sputtering metal targets were used in order to
find best solution for the application of an appropriate thin coating on the sudace of the
samples. Characterization of the abrasion resistance of the coated samples was perfotmed
using internal methods developed by EUREKA partners. Testing of the surface microhardness
of the coated materials was performed in order to evaluate the quality of the
coatings.
