The BoosT project aims to introduce novel advanced materials as alternatives for the deposition of wear and corrosion resistant coatings by Thermal Spraying  in highly demanding applications, with advantages in terms of cost savings, securing of raw material sources and removing of toxic materials.

BoosT will target a new generation of nanostructured materials to substitute WC-Co coatings with a class of innovative and non toxic green CerMet that are not achievebale with conventional production techniques for thermals spraying powders.
