New technology in the pipeline to make big savings
Researchers are applying laser-driven technology to off-shore oil pipelines in a green project that has the potential to save thousands of pounds
MERI Student Day a Huge Success!
his year’s MERI Student Seminar Day saw a record number of 2nd year research students giving a talk, 17 in total. The talks were of a very high standard and at the end of the day two 1st prizes were awarded to Helga Razaghi and Itai Vutabwarova
HIPIMS technology underpins commercial success
High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering is a technology which uses short, very high power pulses to apply protective coatings to a range of different surfaces
Building bridges with local authorities
Bridge Inspectors training events are being delivered by Sheffield Hallam University, one of the first in the country to teach the new code of practice for bridge inspectors
Corrosion testing facilities
A list of facilities and equipment for corrosion testing at Sheffield Hallam University's Materials and Engineering Research Institute
Assessment of material suitability
If you need to understand the performance of different materials used within specific applications where corrosion is a potential, we can undertake analysis of your candidate materials
Investigation and characterisation of corrosion mechanism for the sol-gel developed Cr6+ free coatings for aircraft Al or Mg alloys
This project will add various corrosion inhibitors in the formulation to investigate their corrosion resistance and mechanism to the coated metal through electrochemical analysis
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
Metals and Metallic Coatings
Corrosion tests can be performed on metals, alloys and metallic coatings, such as hot-dip and electroplated surfaces
Understanding the failure mechanisms of coatings on contaminated steel substrates
The project will determine the method by which coatings on contaminated surfaces fail through the development of protocols
