2023 Collaborative R&D Lead participant

Testing Hardide CVD coating performance under high level of dynamic/cyclic deformation

1 Jul 2023 to 31 Mar 2024

Awarded

£34,079

Total cost £56,798

Tungsten/Tungsten Carbide (W/WC) coatings are widely employed in the design of engineering systems to withstand high static and cyclic loading conditions. Understanding the limits of the coating is necessary to help design optimal coatings which would be suitable for highly critical applications necessitating high flexural deformation and fatigue resistan...

2018 Feasibility Studies Lead participant

Low temperature chemical vapour deposition coating of duplex and super duplex alloys

1 Jan 2018 to 31 Mar 2019

Awarded

£67,962

Total cost £97,088

"The proposed Industrial Research project will develop a process for manufacturing hard Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) coating at a lower temperature than currently possible, and also optimising the coating process to make it more efficient and economical to enable coating a wider range of materials and applications. The patented CVD Hardide Tungsten Ca...
