PhD Studentship:  Nanocrystalline functionally-graded wear and corrosion resistant coatings
Ref:  SES–80–071

The University of Southampton has maintained its position as one of the UK’s top research universities, following publication of the 2008 national Research Assessment Exercise. Engineering at Southampton again features very strongly, with the University joining Imperial College and the University of Cambridge in a ‘golden triangle’ of engineering research excellence, as the top three institutions in the country for their range and quality of engineering.
national Centre for Advanced Tribology at Southampton (nCATS). has been established since 1st April 2008 with an overall funding of £9.4M provided by EPSRC, the university and industrial partners over the next 5 years. This represents the largest ever investment in the UK Tribology Research history.  The Centre will expand to more than 50 staff and is committed to distinctive cross-disciplinary research and be a leader in this vital and rapidly developing area.  It will act as a catalyst for methodological innovation and cutting-edge interdisciplinary research, developing new ideas to address substantive problems in a range of important application areas.

Project description for the PhD studentship:  
Hard chromium deposits have been widely used in the engineering industry to improve the hardness, wear and corrosion resistance of materials. It is estimated by billions of dollars’ market in a wide range of industry applications in automotive, aerospace and mining. There is an increasing pressure to seek a more environmental-friendly plating bath to replaced hard chromium plating. Recently the concept of applying nanocrystalline functionally-graded deposit (FGDs) to Ni-Co plating has been shown to significantly decrease internal residual stress and improve wear resistance as well reduce the coefficient of friction compared to hard chromium deposits.
This project enables us to choose electrolyte systems and control coating composition and uniformity using practical variables such as current pulse and density. Accordingly we can develop new deposits, by tailor the microstructure, processing technique and dopant particles, to meet the ever-increasing performance demands in more severe applications. The corresponding tribology properties will be assessed. Microstructural analysis will be carried out mainly by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy.

The successful candidate will work with a group of highly motivated, first class research students in the areas of electrochemistry, materials science or surface engineering.

If you wish to discuss any details of the project informally, please contact Dr Shuncai Wang, nCATS, School of Engineering Sciences, University of Southampton, Email: wangs@soton.ac.uk , Tel: +44-(0)23-8059-4638.
