The effect of temperature on sliding wear of self-mated HIPed Stellite 6 in a simulated PWR water environment (2018)
Journal Article
Ratia, V., Zhang, D., Carrington, M., Daure, J., McCartney, D., Shipway, P., & Stewart, D. (2019). The effect of temperature on sliding wear of self-mated HIPed Stellite 6 in a simulated PWR water environment. Wear, 420-421, 215-225. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wear.2018.09.012

Cobalt-based Stellite alloys are widely used in the primary circuit of pressurized water reactors (PWR) to protect valve surfaces against wear and galling in a corrosive environment. In this study, self-mated sliding wear of HIP-consolidated (Hot Iso... Read More about The effect of temperature on sliding wear of self-mated HIPed Stellite 6 in a simulated PWR water environment.

A comparison of the galling wear behaviour of PVD Cr and electroplated hard Cr thin films (2018)
Journal Article
Daure, J., Carrington, M., Shipway, P., McCartney, D., & Stewart, D. (in press). A comparison of the galling wear behaviour of PVD Cr and electroplated hard Cr thin films. Surface and Coatings Technology, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.surfcoat.2018.06.070

Electroplated hard chromium (EPHC) is used in many industries as a wear and corrosion resistant coating. However, the long term viability of the electroplating process is at risk due to legislation regarding the toxic chemicals used. The physical vap...
