An expert system for optimal repair and management of reinforced concrete highway bridges
We aimed to develop an expert system to enable the optimisation of repairs and maintenance solutions for reinforced concrete highway bridges
ICIS Development
Inductively Coupled Impulse Sputtering (ICIS) – ionised sputtering without magnetic field for deposition of magnetic materials and alloys
Case studies
Case studies and research conducted at National HIPIMS Technology Centre
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 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
Arc Discharge
Arc discharges are used for pretreatment of substrates prior to coating deposition
Coating characterisation
We carry out comprehensive analysis of coating structure on flat and complex-shaped parts with a variety of characterisation methods.
Multi-component fluid flow - lattice Boltzmann method
An introduction to using the lattice Boltzmann method for Multi-component fluid flow analysis
Coating testing
Coating testing research at the Materials and Engineering Research Institute covers a wide range of subjects including corrosion testing, abrasion testing and fatigue limit determination
