Erosion
Air – Sand erosion test method has been used to assess the erosion resistance behaviour and rank the performances of various engineering materials
Failure Analysis
μ-CT was applied to investigate a failed bronze centrifugal impeller from the sea water pump of a military ship.
Research
A project sponsored by Innovate UK in collaboration with Scantron Industrial Products Ltd. This 2 year project is due to finish in March 2021.
Corrosion
Tanks and military platforms are coated to provide Corrosion resistant properties. We have been working with DSTL to find alternative products that are compliant with REACH legislation
Erosion
The cavitation erosion performance of Nickel 200 was used to calibrate the equipment at the University of Southampton which was then used to compare a range of materials including steel, ceramics, carbide and PEEK.
Failure Analysis
Failure investigation of two injectors from a V12 marine diesel engine using μ-CT.
Research
A project sponsored by Innovate UK carried out in collaboration with Perpetuum Ltd, TWI and ECS. This 2 year project is due to finish in April 2020.
