Surface Engineering Technology Group

摘要

Drawing on the resources of NRC's Engineering Institutes, the Surface Engineering Technology Group (SURFTEC) was created to provide Canadian industries with a forum for the acquisition of advanced surface modification technologies. Summary: Using thermal spray deposition and related technologies, SURFTEC provides its members with capabilities in materials development and in the optimization of processes for surface engineering, particularly thermal deposition. This program facilitates the fine-tuning or improvement of various aspects of coating development: Formulation of deposition materials for specific applications Effect of thermal spray conditions on deposition and coating characteristics Diagnostics and control during processing Physical, microstructural, and mechanical properties of coatings Coating performance through laboratory and in-service testing.
