Research Projects to Develop Techniques to Measure Coating Properties and Performance

Friday, May 18th, 2007

National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has joined forces with TWI, Cranfield University and the University of Cambridge in two separate DTI-funded coating-related projects. The industrial need for techniques to measure the integrity and consistency of a coating will be met via research carried out by NPL and TWI into improved methods for ...

Stainless Steels – The Effect of Various Elements on the Properties of Stainless Steels

Friday, May 18th, 2007

Stainless steels and heat resisting steels are ferrous alloys to which a minimum of 12% chromium is added. A 12% chromium stainless steel will resist corrosion or ‘rusting’ when exposed to weather. To obtain greater corrosion resistance for more severe applications, the chromium content may be raised to as high ...

Rapidly Solidified Aluminum Alloys

Friday, March 24th, 2006

Among the specific contributions and potentials of rapid solidifications are: increased solid solubility, minimization of segregation, highly refined grain size, modification or elimination of segregation phases, possibility of glass formation and production of new metastable microcrystalline structures. Corresponding improvements have been achieved in mechanical, corrosive, magnetic and other properties, higher ultimate ...
