Another focus is the development of hybrid technologies in which, for example, soldering is combined with thermal spraying. Intensive research is also being carried out on the transplantation of coatings. The basic idea of this transplantation process is not that the component is coated, but a negative mold, e.g. an insert in a die casting mold, and then the coating is transferred to the actual component. At present, the aluminum die casting process is the main focus here.
