Life cycle asset management
An overview of our research into life cycle asset management
Arc brazing of stainless steel to stainless steel and galvanised mild steel
Arc brazing is a special brazing technique that uses an electric arc and a process known as short circuit transfer to join two materials

ICIS Development
Inductively Coupled Impulse Sputtering (ICIS) – ionised sputtering without magnetic field for deposition of magnetic materials and alloys
Novel scanning electrochemical technologies for mapping defects in organic coatings
The project aims to develop an understanding of the physical and chemical features of coatings which are responsible for the causes of heterogeneities
HIPIMS process development, plasma diagnostics and pilot production
We tailor HIPIMS-based treatment processes to suit applications on today's market and commercialise HIPIMS-based processes for deposition of metals, carbon, nitrides, oxides, carbonitrides and for substrate pretreatment.
Coating characterisation
We carry out comprehensive analysis of coating structure on flat and complex-shaped parts with a variety of characterisation methods.
Coating Substrate Adhesion Enhancement
The surface of metallic substrate is engineered by plasma cleaning to remove contamination and metal ion implantation to enhance wetting of the subsequent coating layer
Plasma Diagnostics
Adapt and expand the capability of existing of plasma diagnostic techniques to the environment of the HIPIMS discharge
