Abstract

The Department of Materials Engineering and Materials Design at Nottingham University has developed a thermal spraying capability using the high velocity oxyfuel (HVOF)process. Over the past three years focused research has been conducted using a gas fuelled system. Recently a state of the art liquid fuelled system has been installed which will open up many new avenues for research. Particular strengths of the department are its capabilities for undertaking detailed microstructural characterisation studies of coatings using advanced X-ray and electron optical techniques, combined with expertise in evaluating coating performance through numerous types of wear and corrosion test procedures.
