Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The proposal relates to an area of research in the active field of surface engineering, which influences several sectors of industry and therefore has been referred to by several Foresight panels. It concerns thermal spray coatings which have evolved over the past three decades and more recently has brought forward a new development in high velocity oxy fuel spraying (HVOF). This has permitted the replacement of gaseous fuels by higher energy liquid fuel (HVOLF). The major objective of the project is to purchase and employ such a system to develop new coatings with novel properties of interest to an ever widening range engineering applications. The use of liquid fuel will permit greater control over thermal transfer to the powder feed materials injected into the high velocity combustion gas streams whilst maximising the kinetic energy transfer to promote high density coatings. Such changes will give opportunity to produce metallic and cermet coatings with enhanced or novel property combinations e.g. mechanical strength and electrical conductivity; wear and corrosion resistance; as new nano-crystalline and amorphous microstructures are produced with reduced amounts of occluded oxide films. The group working on high velocity oxy-fuel coatings at Nottingham is well established and has industrial contacts in many branches of industry.
