Tribo-corrosion characteristics of laser deposited titanium-based smart coatings.

Description

M. Tech. Department of Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering. / Aims to understand and study the tribology and tribocorrosion behaviour of the adaptive titanium-nickel-zirconia composite coatings deposited on AISI 316 stainless steel using laser surface deposition technique under various laser processing speeds. The research aim is meant to be achieved through the following objectives: 1. Determine appropriate procedure for laser feedstock deposition ; 2. Investigate tribological performance of laser composites under various loads ; 3. Evaluate the corrosion of the laser composites coatings. and 4. Assess tribocorrosion behavior of the composite coatings
