Research to determine the properties and characteristics of surfaces on structural materials, and which increases understanding of corrosion barriers, thermal barriers, and other protective techniques to increase the lives of structures and components. Research to improve processes to control surface behaviour and increase lives of components and structures in service environments using advanced coating processes such as metal arc and flame spray, plasma spray, vapour deposition, diffusion processes, specialised paint formulations, and other protective coatings.
