[October 2004]
UK Forum on Friction & Wear Testing
NPL (Teddington, Middx, England) has published the full programme for the one-day UK Forum on Friction and Wear Testing taking place at NPL on 11 November 2004.
The presentations at the meeting will show how physically based insights into the mechanisms of wear that occur enable improved performance to occur through better selection and design of these surface engineering systems.
10am Welcome, Dr M Gee, NPL
10.05am HVOF Spraying of WC-Co Coatings with Liquid-Fuel and Gas-Fuel Systems: Microstructures and Wear Behaviour - Dr Phil Shipway, Nottingham University.
10.35am Optimising HVOF WC-based Coatings for Erosion-Corrosion Resistance - Professor Anne Neville, Leeds University
11.05am Coffee
11.30am Erosion-Corrosion of HVOF Aluminium and Nickel-Aluminium-Bronze Coatings - Professor Robert Woods, University of Southampton
12.00pm Erosion Mechanisms and Factors Affecting the Erosion of EB PVD TBCs - Richard Wellman, Cranfield University
12.30pm Lunch
1.30pm Multiple Scratch Testing of Thick Coatings - Dr M Gee, NPL
2pm Tribology of Oxide Ceramic Coatings on Lightweight Metals Produced Using Plasma Electrolysis - Aleksey Yerokhin, Sheffield University
2.30pm Tea
2.50pm Tribology of Co-Deposited Electroplated Coatings
3.20pm Standardisation of the Micro-Scale Abrasion Test for Coatings: Results of the CRATER Project - Dr M Gee, NPL
