The effect of coating architecture and defects on the corrosion behaviour of a PVD multilayer Inconel 625/Cr coating (2017)
Journal Article

This paper investigates the effect of substrate surface finish and deposition conditions of PVD multilayer Inconel 625/Cr coatings on their ability to act as a corrosion-barrier. The corrosion-barrier performance of the coatings was characterized by...

Effect of test conditions on the temperature at which a protective debris bed is formed in fretting of a high strength steel (2017)
Journal Article

It is well known that mechanisms and rates of fretting wear of many metals are dependent upon the temperature of the environment; specifically, it is known that a transition temperature exists, above which the debris forms a protective bed in the con...

HVOF and laser cladded Fe-Cr-B coating in simulated biomass combustion: microstructure and fireside corrosion (2017)
Journal Article

Biomass is often considered as a low carbon alternative to fossil fuels in the power industry. However the heat exchangers in biomass plants can suffer from chloride based aggressive fireside corrosion. A commercially available amorphous Fe-Cr-B allo...

Evolution of damage in MoS2-based dry film lubricants (DFLs) in fretting wear – the effect of DFL thickness and contact geometry (2017)
Journal Article

Dry film lubricant (DFL) coatings are widely used to reduce coefficients of friction and damage in highly loaded contacts. This work investigates the behaviour of a commercially available MoS2-based DFL in a cylinder-on-flat contact geometry with a f...

Evolution of plasticity-based wear damage in gross sliding fretting of a Ti-6Al-4V non-conforming contact (2017)
Journal Article

This paper examines the evidence for a plasticity based wear mechanism in the fretting wear of Ti-6Al-4V. Driven by near-surface plastic strain accumulation, the generation of wear debris evolves from coarse metallic debris towards loose fine oxide d...
