1. Oxidation of Fe- and Ni-aluminides in Dry and Humid Atmospheres
Abstract : Aluminides based on Ni3Al and Fe3Al offer good mechanical and corrosion properties at high temperatures and are therefore being considered in the automotive and chemical industries. The aim of this work was to study the early stages and the mechanisms of oxide growth on unalloyed Ni3Al and Fe3Al in air. READ MORE

2. Microstructure and properties of welds in the lean duplex stainless steel LDX 2101
Abstract : Duplex stainless steels can be very attractive alternatives to austenitic grades due to their almost double strength at equal pitting corrosion resistance. When welding, the duplex alloys normally require addition of filler metal, while the commodity austenitic grades can often be welded autogenously. READ MORE

3. Multicomponent Alloying for Improved Hard Coatings
Abstract : Coatings are vital to protect and to increase the productivity of cutting tools in high speed and dry cutting applications. During the cutting operation the temperature may exceed 1000 ºC it is therefore necessary that the coatings withstand high temperatures. READ MORE

4. Fundamental Studies on Direct Chromium Alloying by Chromite Ore with Designed Alloying Precursor
Abstract : Chromium is an important alloying element for stainless steels and other Cr-bearing steels. During the steelmaking process chromium is added to the steels mainly in the form of ferrochrome, which is largely produced by the energy-intensive smelting reduction process of chromite ore in the submerged arc furnace.

5. Sputtering and Characterization of Complex Multi-element Coatings
Abstract : The thin film technology is of great importance in modern society and is a key technology in wide spread applications from electronics and solar cells to hard protective coatings on cutting tools and diffusion barriers in food packaging. This thesis deals with various aspects of thin film processing and the aim of the work is twofold; firstly, to obtain a fundamental understanding of the sputter deposition and the reactive sputter deposition processes, and secondly, to evaluate sputter deposition of specific material systems with low friction properties and to improve their performance.
