Development and Characterization of Ti/SiC Metal Matrix Nanocomposite Coating with Superior Surface Properties

In this work, a Ti/SiC metal matrix nanocomposite (MMNC) coating was produced on Ti-6Al-4V substrate by Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technique. The MMNC coating had 7% SiC and 93% Ti by volume. It was observed that applying the nanocomposite coating on titanium substrate significantly reduced the wear and coefficient of friction (COF). By applying the coating, 108% improvement in hardness of Ti-6Al-4V substrates was obtained. The MMNC coating also showed a COF of 0.38 as compared to 0.42 for the Ti-6Al-4V substrate.

Masters and PhD Positions: Sustainable High-Performance Thermal Barrier Coatings – An Integrated Approach

This research focuses on engineering high-performance thermal barrier and protective coating systems through modelling its  deposition processes, study its manufacturing, characterize its microstructure, to feed information into multi-scale constitutive models, multi-scale modelling of its microstructure evolution and Fracture (in service) as well as experimental aspects (including In-situ SEM testing at temperature) of thin and thick film coatings to predict the system-level performance of such coating systems.

Announcing Wear of Materials 2015 - Website has just gone live

20th International Conference on Wear of Materials
12-16 April 2015
The Sheraton Centre, Toronto, Canada

The 20th International Conference on Wear of Materials will focus on both the fundamental and applied aspects of wear and friction of materials at the macro-, micro-, and nano-scale. It will address the understanding of tribological phenomena; particularly the progress in recent decades and a special session will concentrate on modeling of wear.

Improving the stretchability of as-deposited Ag coatings on poly-ethylene-terephthalate substrates

In this paper, we report that silver films evaporated on poly-ethylene-terephthalate (PET) substrates coated with an acrylic primer can be stretched beyond 70% without fracture. As-deposited films show a larger failure strain than annealed coatings. These observations are rationalized in light of a ductile fracture mechanism where debonding from the substrate coevolves with strain localization. The results of this study indicate that PET substrates coated with an acrylic primer layer may be suitable for stretchable electronics.

Springer Publication- Invitation for chapter in nanomechanical book

Dear Friends,

The reputed Springer publication from The Netherlands has given me the responsibility to edit a book titled “Nanomechanical Analysis of High-Performance Materials”.

Need softwares that can Model Multilayer Thin Film Coatings

Hi,

 I want to know what are some useful softwares in which I can simulate multilayer coatings in terms of thermal (CTE mismatch) stresses, and stresses due to contact type loading. I am looking for softwares that are easy to use by a person like me who has an experimental background, does not have exposure to using Abaqus, but can use softwares like Matlab.

 Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Regards,

Sudhir
