1. Laser cladded steel - microstructures and mechanical properties of relevance for railway applications
Abstract : Owing to increased requirements like increased axle load for railway wheels and rails, new material have to be employed. However, these requirements are mostly surface related, which makes it appropriate to change only the surface layer while keeping the bulk unchanged. READ MORE

2. Laser welding and cladding : the effects of defects on fatigue behaviour
Abstract : The thesis focuses on weld defects in laser processed materials (for laser welding, laser hybrid arc welding and laser cladding) and their effect on the fatigue life of components. Component properties were studied with particular emphasis on the macro and micro surface geometry, weld defects and clad defects. READ MORE

3. Continuous Welded Railway Rails: Residual Stress Analyses, Fatigue Assessments and Experiments
Abstract : Railway rails are today often continuously welded. This type of joint generally requires less maintenance than is needed for the bolted joints. It has also reduced wheel damage and made the ride more comfortable. However, these joints are subject to damage. READ MORE

4. Use of EBSD Technique as a Means to Investigate the Microstructure of Engineering Materials
Abstract : AbstractMaterials Science and Engineering has the aim to design or engineer the structure of a material to produce a predetermined set of properties. To be able to understand and predict the properties and observable characteristics of engineering materials, it is therefore necessary to understand their microstructure. READ MORE

5. Erosion - Corrosion Resistance and Adhesion of Laser and Thermally Deposited Coatings in Fluidised Beds
Abstract : High temperature erosion - corrosion is the major source for degradation of components such as heat exchangers, tubes, cyclones and water walls used in Fluidised Bed Combustion (FBC) plants. By coating the exposed components with a protective material, the degradation rate can be decreased. READ MORE
