What can be done to protect metallic components operating at high temperatures? how can we increase the fatigue resistance of structural components? Surface modification for better performance and durability is the main focus of our research.

A team of qualified test engineers and material testers perform wide-range of mechanical tests. We can offer mechanical testing, X-ray diffraction, heat treatment, materials characterisation and phase diagram simulation.

New surface treatments can give increased temperatures and higher efficiency in gas turbines. A new thesis demonstrates how the lifetime of such surface coatings can be calculated – and how much better they are than previous technology.
