Bachelor's at Physic from Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (1981), Brazil, master's at Physic from Universidade Estadual de Campinas (1986), Brazil, and doctorate at Physic from Institut fuer Plasmaphysik des Forschungszentrum Juelich - Rhur Universitaet Bochum (1992), Germany. Has experience in Physic, focusing on plasma physics and electrical discharges, acting on the following subjects: plasma thermochemical treatments and PVD coatings. Has also extensive knowledge on spectroscopic techniques for surface analisys as laser induced fluorescence, emission and absorption spectroscopy. Recently, has also working in others subjects as the deposition of thermal barriers coatings for scramjet thrusters and air-breating electric propulsion for VLEO missions. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Nitration by plasma is a process used for the improvement of various physical properties of steels such as hardness and resistance to wear, corrosion and fatigue. This process consists of a luminescent discharge of gases at low pressure containing nitrogen. The plasma makes use of nitrogen atoms that permeate into the steel to form nitrides of elevated hardness. In this process there is n…
The objective of this project is the development of the following processes of plasma application in metallurgy: plasma nitration of non-ferrous elements, deposition of films of Al2O3, TiN and TiC by using a structure of hollow cathode discharges and superficial treatment of ferrous elements in substitution of the conventional galvanization processes. These processes were chosen due to th…
