HY-GLAS - Hållbara ytbeläggningar av järn-baserat metallglas

Of particular interest is Fe-based metallic glass, as it offers advantages in terms of raw material cost, supply chain resilience and environmental footprint. However, Fe-based metallic glass is difficult to process due to limited plasticity, propensity for cracking, and crystallization during deposition. Before embarking on a larger project to explore metallic glass as potential candidate for coating applications, a preliminary experimental study is to be taken up as a collaboration between QuesTek Europe AB and University West to establish coating feasibility. A preliminary evaluation of market potential and identification of application-specific property requirements will also be performed. These activities will form the basis for the development of a project plan for a full-scale development project to resolve processing challenges to meet property requirements for specific applications.
