Funded Activity Summary

Designed to last: novel gradient coatings for extreme environments. Hard coatings are frequently applied to equipment operating in harsh environments. Often such coatings are highly brittle and so fragile under stress, especially at high temperatures or in corrosive environments. Premature failure can affect safety and lead to negative economic and environmental consequences. The objective of this project is to combine bioinspired microstructural design with an emerging alloying concept to produce a breakthrough in the development of engineering coatings; for example, overcoming the long standing trade-off between hardness and toughness. Such an innovative coating is expected to be highly durable in extreme conditions, and in so doing will help transform manufacturing, mining and desalination industries.
