Surfaces and interfaces in structural materials - applications of modern technologies and computer modelling

Anotace

The proposed project is focused on research of progressive technologies of surface modification of modern structural and construction materials and on engineering of interfaces in these materials. The main attention will be paid to the research directions which have increasing potential for applications in praxis, namely in machine engineering and electronics. We plan to make the research using modern technologies of nitriding and carbonitriding of steel surfaces, plasma sprayed coatings on Ni-based superalloys and intermetallics and determination of redistribution of alloying elements along grain boundaries and weldment joints in high alloyed Ni-Cr steels and Ni3Al-based intermetallic compounds. Modern methods of experimental research supported by theoretical calculations and computer modelling will be used in the planned research. Besides the above mentioned materials a limited part of the research capacity will be devoted to materials which would be of actual interest for technical practice.
