CONTEXTUAL INFORMATION

1. Abstract:
	Thermally sprayed WC-12%wt.Co coatings are used in aerospace, energy and marine applications
	to combat wear. The failure of these coatings is dictated by residual stress which can lead to 
	catastrophic delamination of coatings. Previous studies have indicated that conventional 
	measurement techniques such as X-rays and synchrotrons do not provide the required penetration 
	depth for through thickness residual stress evaluation. The stress profile of these coatings 
	can be altered by the use of recent advancements which utilise nanostructured coating materials
	is suspension spraying. The aim of this 2-days beamtime proposal is to investigate the residual 
	stress profile (through thickness) in these nanostructured (200-500 nm crystal size) WC-12%Co 
	coatings with a view to model stress build-up using neutron scattering facility (SALSA) using 
	the vertical scan mode.
