Project aims
This project aims to develop nano coatings through electro deposition route. Pulse conditions and electrolyte bath composition will be developed to design the coatings at nano levels. The developed coatings will be examined for mechanical properties such as hardness and formability and corrosion resistance. Electrochemical, microscopy and surface analytical techniques will be employed to achieve the aims.
Expected outcomes
The project is expected to result in the development of nano coatings with superior mechanical and corrosion properties than that are currently available.
How will the project address the Goals of the above Themes?
Modern advances in technology place particular emphasis on both understanding and controlling phenomena on the nanoscale. This project deals with developing nano coating with a simple technology.
