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...

As a candidate coating material for heat-exchanger surfaces in commercial power generation boiler, an amorphous/glass forming Fe-Cr-B alloy NanoSteel SHS 7170 was deposited by a 2 kW fibre laser onto a boiler grade steel substrate (15Mo3). A comprehe... Read More about Process parameter optimisation of laser clad iron based alloy: Predictive models of deposition efficiency, porosity and dilution.

The role of a thermally sprayed CuNiIn underlayer in the durability of a dry-film lubricant system in fretting: a phenomenological model (2018)
Journal Article
Barman, K., Shipway, P., Voisey, K., & Pattinson, G. (2018). The role of a thermally sprayed CuNiIn underlayer in the durability of a dry-film lubricant system in fretting: a phenomenological model. Tribology International, 123, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.triboint.2018.03.018

Dry film lubricant coatings (DFL) are employed to reduce friction and damage in highly loaded contacts. Metallic underlayers, e.g. CuNiIn, can be beneficial however, there is no detailed explanation of the mechanism. This work investigates the effect...
