This proposal continues and increases the projects related to Diamond-CVD, Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) and related materials, including nanostructured carbons based on carbon nanotubes (NTC) and graphene, and nanocomposites involving these materials. Developments in plasma and laser surface treatments have a fundamental character. It will emphasize: the specific development of monocrystall…
The development of numerical simulation methods has created new possibilities as regards of optimization of metal forming processes, taking into account real industrial forming processes. Therefore, by applying such methods of analysis it is now possible to assess the material´s phase transformations and predict the interactions between material properties and forming process, the constit…
Stainless steels are being used in a variety of applications within the refining and petrochemical industry, where high corrosion resistance and mechanical properties are required. Surface properties of these materials may be improved in order to reach a better performance in highly stressed tribological systems. Results obtained by the two research groups have shown that low temperature …

The global trend of developing new technologies seeks to reduce the energy losses of mechanical systems sustainably. In passenger transport vehicles, these friction losses are equivalent to 33% of fuel consumption. One way to mitigate these losses is through surface engineering, which allows the development of solutions such as lubricating coatings that can reduce the coefficient of frict…
Enhancing the high temperature mechanical performance of structural steels during the event of a fire is a complex task due to the strong economic restrictions in the civil construction field. The development of ''Fire-Resistant'' steels imposes practical limitations, since these have to be at least as cheap, tough and weldable as the commonly used structural steels, while simultaneously …
The project aims to study and characterize the tribological behavior of layers of expanded phases formed on the surface of a low - carbon 410S stainless steel with martensitic ferritic structure by low temperature plasma nitriding. It is intended to characterize the behavior of the expanded ferrite/martensite layer in instrumented linear sclerometry tests, characterizing the apparent fric…
Materials commonly used for Friction Stir Welding (FSW) tools are divided into two groups: (1) to weld low melting temperature alloys, such as Al, Mg, and Cu alloys; and (2) to weld high melting temperature alloys, such as steels, Ni, Ti, and Zr alloys. Tool steels are commonly used to join low melting alloys. On the other hand, the processing temperature, stresses, and wear conditions as…
