Anodic behaviour of Mg at pre-breakdown stages of PEO in basic electrolytes Open
Electrolyte selection for Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) of magnesium is important as this determines composition, morphology and properties of resultant coatings that are urgently sought after for protection of Mg alloys from corrosi…

Design and development of a novel polymer coating system with exceptional creep resistance Open
Polymer coatings often suffer from poor mechanical properties, including low strength and modulus, making them prone to creep failure under minimal loads. To address these challenges, this study introduces a novel polyurethane (PU) coating…

PVD Depostion of Nb₃Sn Thin Film on Copper Substrate from an Alloy Nb₃Sn Target Open
In this study we report on the PVD deposition of Nb₃Sn on Cu substrates with and without a thick Nb interlayer to produce Cu/Nb/Nb₃Sn and Cu/Nb₃Sn multilayer structures. The Nb₃Sn was sputtered directly from an alloy target at room and ele…

Influence of coating morphology on adhesive bonding of titanium pre-treated by plasma electrolytic oxidation Open
The effect of plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) pre-treatments on the adhesive bonding of titanium is investigated using lap-shear tests. Two pre-treatments are compared, using aluminate-phosphate and silicate-phosphate electrolytes resp…
