Research Location Linz
AC2T research GmbH (AC²T), the Austrian Competence Centre for Tribology, has been established at the Wiener Neustadt location since 2002; alongside these headquarters, AC²T has also operated a location in Linz since 2015.
Linz was chosen as a location because it enabled more efficient cooperation with relevant industrial clients, as well as the more optimum inclusion of scientific cooperation partners from Upper Austria and their available infrastructure.
Spectrum of specialist services
The thematic focus of the AC²T research location Linz is on the field of “application-oriented tribodiagnostics”. The spectrum of services concentrates on the following areas:
- R&D services with a focus on tribology
- Experimental investigation of tribosystems: evaluation of influencing factors on friction and identification of causes of wear
- On-site surface characterisation: damage diagnosis, topographical assessment of roughness and wear
- Tribological surface analytics: chemical and morphological changes to component surfaces or layers
- Support in the implementation of tribodiagnostic measures for process and quality control
With this spectrum of services combined with the comprehensive tribological and analytical competence at the main location in Wiener Neustadt, tribological issues of clients in Upper Austria are processed in a client-oriented, time-efficient manner.
