Determination Of The Compatibility Of Various Coatings With A Branched Perfluoropolyalklyether In A High Temperature Oxidative Environment, Patrick Thomas Hellman Jan 2006

Determination Of The Compatibility Of Various Coatings With A Branched Perfluoropolyalklyether In A High Temperature Oxidative Environment, Patrick Thomas Hellman

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Six commercially available titanium based coatings were deposited onto M-50 and carburized Pyrowear 675® substrates and were studied in a high temperature oxidative environment while immersed in a branched perfluoropolyalklyether (PFPAE), Krytox AC®. The responses of the coated substrates to this environment were compared to M-50 and carburized Pyrowear 675®. The coatings investigated were physical vapor deposited (PVD) TiN, TiCN, TiAICN, TiCrCN/TiB4C multilayer, E-Ni TiN, and E-Ni TiCN. Experiments were conducted at temperatures ranging from 315 to 360°C for a duration of 24 hours. Post-test analysis of the metal/coated coupons consisted of visual inspection, weight change per area, scanning electron …

This study addressed the following questions: 1) To what extent do first year college students use religious coping? The study produced partial support for the hypothesis that first-year students use religious coping 2) How does religious coping relate to adjustment to college? …
