"We are developing coatings for aluminium and galvanised steel, where embedded nano-capsules promote both the repair of the coating and repair any underlying metal corrosion.
The process of designing and developing coatings for modern technological applications combines experimentation and analysis.
Based on these criteria, a manufacturing approach based on sputtering techniques can be ideal to develop coatings free of toxic elements tailored for advanced applications on pure titanium or titanium alloys used in biomedical applications.
Moreover, numerous material- and manufacturing-engineers have joint their expertise, aiming at developing coatings meeting the needs for processing the most difficult-to-cut materials at the most extreme cutting conditions.
Fe-12 at.% W coatings show an optimum combination of mechanical and magnetic properties, thus making these newly developed coatings appealing environmentally-friendly alternative materials for multi-scale technologies.
It is also developing coatings to "allow virtually any surface to be printed on".
Hence, WE43 alloy coated with HAp by two different coating processes proves to have slower degradation rate in comparison with uncoated substrate and amongst the two coating processes PLD can be employed to develop successful coatings for application of Mg alloys in the field of orthopedics.
This provides valuable information to develop new coatings for future bearing designs.
The present study aims to develop CrN coatings for wear applications.
