Projects

2025 Legacy Department of Trade & Industry Lead participant

AeroMask: Development of masking for REACH-compliant Hardide CVD W/WC coating to replace Hard Chrome plating on 3D shapes and thin wall aerospace components

1 Jul 2025 to 30 Jun 2026

Awarded
£119,680
Total cost £170,971

In this project, Hardide coatings which are the leading global innovator and provider of advanced tungsten carbide/tungsten metal matrix composite coatings deposited through Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) are developing a new masking compound which can be used to mask areas on aerospace components during its coating deposition process. With CVD being a ...

2023 Collaborative R&D Lead participant

1 Nov 2023 to 30 Apr 2025

Awarded
£369,048
Total cost £527,211

In this project Hardide plc and Cranfield University are collaborating to work towards the development, characterisation, and testing of a new coating variant to be used in green Hydrogen production. Hardide plc based near Oxford is an SME which is the leading global innovator and provider of advanced tungsten carbide/tungsten metal matrix composite coati...

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...
