Webinars 15 February 2023

As part of the H2020-funded project ‘FORGE’, the present study aims to optimise process parameters for depositing compositionally complex alloy (CCA) + rare-earth powder on carbon steel substrates via two coating processes: cold spray and laser cladding. A design of experiment will be performed in order to optimise the microstructure of the smart coating system. The deposition process parameters will be adjusted in an attempt to minimise the presence of defects and increase the coating mechanical properties (e.g. resistance to wear and toughness). Moreover, the capability of the system to detect and monitor wear will be assessed by visual observation and spectrometric sensor measurements.
