Lead Research Organisation:
University of Manchester
Department Name: Materials
Abstract
Coatings are key to the performance of most manufactured products and they contribute to sustainability by enhancing the efficiency and extending the life of the products that they protect, as well as by enabling the reduced use of scarce bulk materials. Coatings are a vital part of the nation's manufacturing industry, contributing to many sectors, including aerospace, energy, automotive, construction and healthcare. However, until now the UK coatings industry has been lagging behind compared to High Value Manufacturing sectors in terms of design, development, manufacture, and implementation into products, particularly in terms of the degree of digitalisation achieved.
This project will develop intelligent coatings with new functionalities that can self-monitor during manufacture and in-service. The multidisciplinary team will use a suite of modelling tools, sensing technologies and experimental deposition and characterisation facilities at The University of Manchester, the University of Sheffield, Cranfield University, Queen's University Belfast and Swansea University to embed new sensor functionalities within coatings, using a variety of deposition processes.
This EPSRC Exploratory Stream project will be a key step to address the challenges of digitalisation in the UK coatings manufacturing sector. The proposed research will assist UK PLC to develop manufacturing methods which are predictable, digital-enabled and more productive, providing a pathway to world-leading coating manufacturing processes. The research will support the coatings manufacturing industry to achieve best-in-class levels of High Value Manufacturing.

Planned Impact
Recent studies (such as the one by the industry-led Special Interest Group in Surface Engineering and Advanced Coatings) have demonstrated that the UK coatings market is worth about £11 billion annually. Moreover, coatings are vital to over £150bn of products made in the UK each year, and these products drive manufacturing turnovers greater than £380bn in UK companies. Nevertheless, the coatings sector in the UK lags behind other manufacturing process technology sectors, particularly with regard to the level of digitalisation achieved. Such digitalisation capability is needed for coatings to achieve their full potential to add value to products and to contribute optimally to sustainability objectives, given the critical role which coatings can play in conserving energy and materials resources.
This proposal will challenge the traditional mode of coating manufacture by extending the application of coatings beyond a simple protective layer to a functional sensing element, with a capability to monitor and regulate the coating growth process as well as, using the same sensing method, measure the functional performance of the component in-service. This project will establish a new way of thinking that will transform the way coatings are seen in the life-cycle of an engineering component. Establishing coatings as sensing elements that allow not only monitoring and gathering of the deposition process data but also continue to function in-service as an integrated, full life-cycle, cyber-physical devices is a step-change in transformational digital manufacturing and connectivity of safety critical engineering components. This proposal will address the critical need to eliminate waste in coating manufacturing, which accounts for significant productivity losses in UK businesses, and increases costs and lead times of engineering components.
This project will provide the vital first step in the journey towards digital transformation of the UK coatings industry, which will result in improved manufacturing quality, productivity, efficiency and sustainability. Through digitalisation, the coatings industry sector will be able to faster develop novel coatings with improved performance and functionalities directed by end-user needs. Since coatings are critical to the performance of most products, the impact of this project will expand to many sectors in UK industry, ranging from aerospace and automotive to healthcare and food & drink. This project addresses the outcomes of the recent "Made Smarter" review, which estimated that adoption of digitalistion throughout UK industry could add up to £455 billion for UK manufacturing over the next decade, by increasing manufacturing sector growth between 1.5% and 3% per annum. The successful implementation of digitalisation technologies in the UK coatings industry will contribute to making the UK a global leader in industrial digitalisation in the coatings sector.

| Description | DescriptionThis dataset contains the thermal imaging recordings made during the experiments investigating the effect of gas flow rate on the shape of the plasma. The index at the end of the file name denotes the order they were taken. The plasma tool head is positioned on the right of the image with the plasma and powder travelling from the right to the left of the image.File FormatThe recordings are in FLIR's Compressed Sequence File format called CSQ. The recordings were made with the emissivity set to 0.94 as the true emissivity was not known at the time. It is recommended to get FLIRs tools to change the emissivity and observe the effects. CSQ files can be viewed with a free license for FLIR Thermal Studio but a paid license is needed to extract temperature values to make the NPZ files uploaded at https://doi.org/10.15131/shef.data.25335319.

The array shape NxHxW where N is the number of frames, H is height and W is width.Process Parameterssheffield_doe_flowrate_gasrate_0001: 30V, 500A, 40 SL/MINsheffield_doe_flowrate_gasrate_0002: 30V, 500A, 40 SL/MINsheffield_doe_flowrate_gasrate_0003: 30V, 500A, 50 SL/MINsheffield_doe_flowrate_gasrate_0004: 30V, 500A, 60 SL/MINsheffield_doe_flowrate_gasrate_0005: 30V, 500A, 70 SL/MINsheffield_doe_flowrate_gasrate_0006: 30V, 500A, 80 SL/MINsheffield_doe_flowrate_gasrate_0007: 30V, 500A, 80 SL/MINsheffield_doe_flowrate_gasrate_0008: 30V, 500A, 80 SL/MINRecording Notessheffield_doe_flowrate_gasrate_0001: First run failed due to camera running out of batterysheffield_doe_flowrate_gasrate_0002: Good runsheffield_doe_flowrate_gasrate_0003: Starts with PULSE material flow rate rather than fixedsheffield_doe_flowrate_gasrate_0004: Powder level running low.
