A team with unique and complementary experience has been formed to create an Innovation Playground for application-driven pioneering research in PVD coatings for tribological applications. Four leading centres in three institutions will come together to exploit their real and significant synergies. This proposal is for capital equipment which, together with our extensive existing facilities, will underpin our ambitions and will enable the UK to compete with any of the other international centres. The investment provides unique capability for this consortium which will reach out to other academic groups and industrial users. The proposed research is based around three core thematic areas; defined because of our combined strengths in these and also the tribological challenges that exist. The Innovation Playground will secure specific deliverables for these three strategically important high priority application sectors:1. Artificial Human Joint Replacements - for health & well being -> Lengthening life, improving mobility and independent living and reducing ion release for younger and more active patients. To reduce the burden on the NHS. 2. Automotive OEM Engine Parts - for reduced energy consumption - The immediate focus is primarily on fuel economy and improved surface/lubricant interactions to realize lower interfacial friction and so minimize energy losses, delivering performance improvements and a reduced carbon footprint.3. New age coated cutting tools for Manufacturing Ti, Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) and metal-matrix composite aerospace components - for materials conservation and manufacturing efficiency gains by lowering energy consumption in manufacturing > The main emphasis will be increasing cutting tool durability and reliability under very high operating temperatures (>1000C), suppressing adverse chemical degradation and reducing dependence on Cl-containing fluids during machining operations under dry or minimum lubrication conditions (MLC machining). There is industry pressure to increase the performance of the tool/lubricant system and advanced PVD coating technology can address this need.

一支拥有独特且互补经验的团队已成立，旨在为摩擦学应用的 PVD ​​涂层应用驱动的开拓性研究创建一个创新游乐场。三个机构的四个领先中心将齐聚一堂，发挥其真正而重要的协同作用。该提案针对资本设备，加上我们广泛的现有设施，将支撑我们的雄心并使英国能够与任何其他国际中心竞争。这项投资为该联盟提供了独特的能力，该联盟将接触其他学术团体和工业用户。拟议的研究围绕三个核心主题领域；定义是因为我们在这些方面的综合优势以及存在的摩擦学挑战。创新游乐场将为这三个具有战略意义的高优先级应用领域确保具体的交付成果：1。人工关节置换 - 为了健康和福祉 -> 延长寿命，改善活动能力和独立生活，并减少年轻和活跃患者的离子释放。减轻NHS的负担。 2. 汽车 OEM 发动机零件 - 降低能耗 - 当前的重点主要是燃油经济性和改善表面/润滑剂相互作用，以实现更低的界面摩擦，从而最大限度地减少能量损失，从而提高性能并减少碳足迹。3。用于制造钛、碳纤维增强聚合物 (CFRP) 和金属基复合材料航空零部件的新型时效涂层切削刀具 - 通过降低制造能耗来节省材料和提高制造效率 > 主要重点是提高切削刀具在极高工作温度 (>1000C) 下的耐用性和可靠性，抑制不利的化学降解并减少在加工过程中对含氯流体的依赖 在干或最低润滑条件下进行加工操作（MLC 加工）。行业面临着提高工具/润滑剂系统性能的压力，先进的 PVD ​​涂层技术可以满足这一需求。
