About
Johannes Rauch is a materials engineer specializing in thermal spray coatings for tribological applications, particularly in internal combustion engines. His key research areas include high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) and high-velocity suspension flame spraying (HVSFS) processes, with a focus on reducing friction and wear in cylinder liners. In his most cited work, Rauch systematically compared five coating materials—Fe alloy, FeCrMo, CrC-NiCr, NiCrBSi, and WC-Co—applied to gray cast iron and aluminum substrates, demonstrating how robotic HVOF deposition can enhance coating uniformity and performance. Although his citation count is modest, his contributions are significant for advancing lightweight engine design and improving fuel efficiency through surface engineering. Rauch’s research bridges the gap between coating science and industrial application, offering practical solutions for extending component life in demanding environments. His work is particularly relevant for students and researchers exploring sustainable manufacturing and surface protection technologies.
