Journal Article
Reddy, L., Preston, S. P., Shipway, P., Davis, C., & Hussain, T. (2018). Process parameter optimisation of laser clad iron based alloy: Predictive models of deposition efficiency, porosity and dilution. Surface and Coatings Technology, 349, 198-207. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.surfcoat.2018.05.054

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.

Effects of surface roughness on local friction and temperature distributions in a steel-on-steel fretting contact (2018)
Journal Article
Qin, W., Jin, X., Kirk, A., Shipway, P., & Sun, W. (2018). Effects of surface roughness on local friction and temperature distributions in a steel-on-steel fretting contact. Tribology International, 120, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.triboint.2018.01.016

It has generally been assumed that initial surface roughness has significant influences on local frictional shear stresses and flash temperatures in fretting contacts. However, since these hypotheses are difficult to directly measure, the frictional...

The role of temperature and frequency on fretting wear of a like-on-like stainless steel contact (2017)
Journal Article
Jin, X., Shipway, P., & Sun, W. (2017). The role of temperature and frequency on fretting wear of a like-on-like stainless steel contact. Tribology Letters, 65, Article 77. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11249-017-0858-0

The influences of environmental temperature and fretting frequency on the mechanisms and rates of wear in a like-on-like 304 stainless steel contact were examined, and mainly attributed to changes in the mechanical response of the bulk material and t...

Sliding wear analysis of cobalt based alloys in nuclear reactor conditions (2017)
Journal Article
McCarron, R., Stewart, D., Shipway, P., & Dini, D. (2017). Sliding wear analysis of cobalt based alloys in nuclear reactor conditions. Wear, 376-377(B), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wear.2016.12.018

The study of the wear behaviour of cobalt based alloys in nuclear reactor environmental conditions is the focus of this work. The alloys are used in components within reactors due to their excellent wear and corrosion resistance and their high hardne...

Investigation on the plasticity accumulation of Ti-6Al-4V fretting wear by decoupling the effects of wear and surface profile in finite element modelling (2016)
Journal Article
Tobi, A. M., Sun, W., & Shipway, P. (in press). Investigation on the plasticity accumulation of Ti-6Al-4V fretting wear by decoupling the effects of wear and surface profile in finite element modelling. Tribology International, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.triboint.2016.12.009

A finite-element-based wear modelling methodology and a computational device for decoupling wear effects is presented in this study. The decoupling of wear effects facilitates the capture of plasticity accumulation on a particular wear-scarring profi...

The role of geometry changes and debris formation associated with wear on the temperature field in fretting contacts (2016)
Journal Article
Jin, X., Sun, W., & Shipway, P. (2016). The role of geometry changes and debris formation associated with wear on the temperature field in fretting contacts. Tribology International, 102, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.triboint.2016.05.043

The temperature of a fretting contact is known to be a key factor in its development. However, as a test proceeds, the wear scar changes, both geometrically and through the formation of oxide-based debris-beds. Accordingly, the effects of these on th...

A numerical comparison of the flow behaviour in Friction Stir Welding (FSW) using unworn and worn tool geometries (2015)
Journal Article
Hasan, A., Bennett, C., & Shipway, P. (in press). A numerical comparison of the flow behaviour in Friction Stir Welding (FSW) using unworn and worn tool geometries. Materials and Design, 87, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matdes.2015.08.016

The tool is a key component in the Friction Stir Welding (FSW) process, but the tool degrades and changes shape during use; however, only a limited number of experimental studies have been undertaken in order to understand the effect that worn tool g...

The effect of laser transformation notching on the controlled fracture of a high carbon (C70S6 ) steel (2008)
Journal Article

A high carbon (C70S6) steel has been laser surface treated using CO2 and Diode lasers in order to produce an embrittled region to act as a fracture notch. Such a process has been investigated as a precursor to the fracture splitting of automotive eng...
