The National Science Foundation awarded the University of Arkansas at Little Rock a $100,000 Project Grant under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084). The grant funds the development of an emerging surface coating technology to apply ceramic and composite coatings to metal parts. The goal is to improve mechanical properties like hardness and adhesion strength as well as tribological behaviors related to friction and wear resistance. The proposed coating method aims to overcome environmental issues from current processes using acids and toxic metals like nickel. It provides a high growth rate that could reduce coating times and energy consumption. If successful, the technology has potential applications in industries such as automotive, aerospace, oil and gas, and biomaterials to replace heavy cast iron parts with lighter aluminum alternatives.
