Matthews, Allan - University of Manchester

个人简介

Allan Matthews is Professor of Surface Engineering and Tribology in the School of Materials and Deputy Director of the BP International Centre for Advanced Materials. He is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering. He spent his early career in the UK Aerospace industry with Hawker Siddeley Dynamics then British Aerospace Dynamics group, before returning to academia and completing a PhD at Salford University in advanced plasma-based coating processes for the deposition of ceramic coatings for industrial applications.. He then moved to the University of Hull, where he was a member of a team which created a new Engineering Department there. He also created the Research Centre in Surface Engineering. After 21 years at Hull, he moved to the University of Sheffield, growing the Surface Engineering research there and also acting as Head of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering 2007-2011.

研究领域

Duplex and Hybrid processing methods. Plasma assisted PVD processes for Thermal Barrier Coatings for gas turbines (including stabilised zirconia compositions). Low pressure, enhanced-plasma diffusion treatments for materials such as stainless steel. Nanostructured (particularly nanocomposite) and “glassy” metallic and ceramic films, for combined wear/corrosion resistance and for protection of low-modulus substrate materials. Novel pulsed-plasma CVD and PIAD coatings for polymeric and metallic substrates. Plasma Electrolytic deposition processes (and process diagnostics)- for use on medical devices and lightweight automotive and aerospace components. Mechanical properties approaches to wear prevention. Development of innovative tribological test equipment (e. g. for impact, galling and scratch adhesion testing) Methodologies for coating selection, including using Expert Systems
