Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The project aims to develop an electrochemical method to increase the oxide film thickness on austenitic stainless steels, in order to improve their resistance to galling wear in unlubricated contact. Significant industrial benefits would result from the development of a successful and economical surface treatment.
