More information about English language requirements SelectionThe selection is based on 20-285 creditsCourse AimThe aim for this course is to provide the student with: basic knowledge about different methods of surface modification and surface treatmentin-depth understanding of how different material structures affects the surface propertiesknowledge of different physical laws and chemical reactions which affects the physical and mechanical properties of material surfacesin-depth understanding of tribological processes and knowledge of other aspects of the surface performancebasic knowledge of different analytical techniques for surface analysis and characterisation of their performanceContentsDifferent methods for modification of material surfaces and surface treatment. Atomistic and microstructural description of surfaces together with morphological and surface topographical description of surfaces. The effect of surface energy, surface tension and wetting on the physical and mechanical properties of surfaces. Friction in sliding as well as rolling under dry and lubricated conditions. Different types of wear such as adhesive wear, abrasive wear, surface fatigue, fretting and erosive wear. Impact of corrosion on wear processes. Different methods for characterisation of surfaces especially from a tribological point of view. Surface engineering for friction and wear control.RealizationLectures and laboratory project work.
