Welcome to the Surface Engineering Division

The application of surface engineering is vital to the success of almost every commercial and industrial product: from aero engines to aeroplanes, from iPods to surgical implants and from razor blades to racing cars. Surface engineering is a critical enabling technology that underpins every industrial and manufacturing sector. The new Surface Engineering Division Strategy encompasses the needs of British Industry to enable predictive design of important components and products to be achieved with the minimum of waste and utilising more sustainable materials using environmentally friendly processes.

Cold standard - cold spray technology

The accumulation of multiple layers of cold spray particles can produce deposits in excess of 20mm thick
While there is a reliance on thermal spraying in industries such as aerospace, medicine and electronics, the coating technology is not without its flaws. A colder alternative could be the answer, say Tiziana Marrocco and Dave Harvey from UK research organisation TWI.
