- Additional information
- The new micro-scale impact test methodology improved current understanding of the fatigue failure of hard coatings deposited on hard surfaces, providing important input into design of coated engineering components. The approach proposed in this study is advantageous for coating durability screening campaigns allowing testing of many coatings in a short space of time. This work has led to follow on research and funding received from MicroMaterials – leading international manufacturer of innovative nano-mechanical measurement equipment (ben@micromaterials.com). Outputs of the research have been included in commercial technical materials published by MicroMaterials supporting their sales and expanding the customer base.
