Workshop: PVD and CVD
The deposition of thin films is a key surface engineering technique allowing for the protection and functionalisation of surfaces with high-performance coatings that can be tailored for extreme environments. Physical and chemical vapour deposition are some of the most...
Workshop: Fretting and Extreme Pressure
The high frequency and short amplitudes in fretting wear make it particularly dangerous due to its multitude of effects on materials. Fatigue can occur in lower loaded contacts, at higher loads wear debris is generated and transformations occur in the material. This...
Publishing in the Surface Technology field
The Webinar will first provide an introduction to the scientific publishing scene- its history and recent developments. Then it will explain how journal operations are organised, including the roles of the Publisher, Editors and Editorial Board. The webinar will then...
Workshop: Surface Characterisation (with optical profiler and nanoindenter demo)
Characterisation of surface properties is essential to the fields of tribology and surface engineering. Many properties exist to define the roughness of surfaces and measurement of these properties can be a complex and time-consuming endeavour. Surface mechanical...
Mechanical characterisation of biological tissues
Indentation is a powerful technique that has been widely used for material characterisation of various materials. In this talk I will give some examples of how this technique has enabled us to unravel the mechanical properties of various biological tissues (bones and...
Workshop: Tribology – Wear and damage mechanisms (with tribometer and AFM demo)
Tribology is the study of friction, wear and lubrication and is a vitally important to many branches of industry. Wear is complex and typically consists of several mechanisms within a single tribological interaction. Understanding the type of wear allows for systems...
New insights in transition metal dichalcogenides coatings
ABOUT THIS WEBINAR Sputtered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) coatings have been extensively studied in last years for low friction applications. Their lamellar structure, when conveniently oriented in relation to the sliding direction, is in the basis of the...
Introduction to Surface Engineering (with nano-impact demo)
About This Workshop Surfaces are complex structures, and their interactions underpin a huge array of technologies. By modifying surfaces, engineering components can be augmented with enhanced properties or new ones not possible with a single bulk material. Surface...
Laser surface texturing: challenges and opportunities
ABOUT THIS WEBINAR Recent advancements in laser technology opened completely new areas of research and applications. Engineered surfaces by laser methods are particularly interesting for applications, which deal with friction and wear. Over the decades, many research...
