Centre for Corrosion Technology
The Centre for Corrosion Technology (CCT) was founded by its Director, Professor Robert Akid, in 1996 to provide research and business support expertise concerning the implication of materials operating within corrosive environments.
International training school on HIPIMS a great success!
A training school on HIPIMS was organised by Professor Arutiun Ehiasarian to address the need for High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HIPIMS) fundamentals and research findings to reach a wider audience
Advanced PVD coatings
MERI is renowned for the development of nanoscale multilayer Physical Vapour Deposited (PVD) coatings and for the development of the HIPIMS technique
The National HIPIMS Technology Centre
High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering is the latest development in PVD coating deposition technology
PVD coating development
We offer a complete coating development package giving a choice of composition, architecture (monolayer or multilayers) and PVD deposition techniques to suit specific needs
Accelerated Environmental Corrosion Tests
MERI has facilities available for humidity testing and neutral salt spray testing to ASTM Standard B117
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 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
Arc Discharge
Arc discharges are used for pretreatment of substrates prior to coating deposition
