Revolutionary new building material developed at MERI
Liquid Granite is not only capable of withstanding temperatures in excess of 1100 degrees Celsius, but it also maintains its heat adversity for longer and won't explode at extreme temperatures like traditional concrete
New technology in the pipeline to make big savings
Researchers are applying laser-driven technology to off-shore oil pipelines in a green project that has the potential to save thousands of pounds
Centre for Infrastructure Management Research Opportunities
Research Opportunities available with the Centre of Infrastructure Management (CIM)
Centre for Corrosion Technology
The Centre for Corrosion Technology (CCT) was founded by its Director, Professor Robert Akid, in 1996 to provide research and business support expertise concerning the implication of materials operating within corrosive environments.
Corrosion and structural integrity
Our major aim is to elucidate and quantify the processes that contribute to the deterioration and failure of engineering materials through the interaction of material composition, operating environment and the applied/residual stress system.
Corrosion and Structural Integrity
We are highly active in the research and analysis of materials applicable to the offshore, aerospace, automotive and electrical power industries
Understanding the failure mechanisms of coatings on contaminated steel substrates
The project will determine the method by which coatings on contaminated surfaces fail through the development of protocols
Novel scanning electrochemical technologies for mapping defects in organic coatings
The project aims to develop an understanding of the physical and chemical features of coatings which are responsible for the causes of heterogeneities
Investigation and characterisation of corrosion mechanism for the sol-gel developed Cr6+ free coatings for aircraft Al or Mg alloys
This project will add various corrosion inhibitors in the formulation to investigate their corrosion resistance and mechanism to the coated metal through electrochemical analysis
Metals and Metallic Coatings
Corrosion tests can be performed on metals, alloys and metallic coatings, such as hot-dip and electroplated surfaces
