will contribute to improvements in oil sands efficiency and incorporation of advanced manufacturing and_x000D_
materials through emerging technology aimed at new materials development. This proposal sets out to describe_x000D_
a research project that will be supported by Imperial Oil, in collaboration with InnoTech Alberta, an Alberta_x000D_
government research organization, to develop and model the performance of next-generation metal matrix_x000D_
composite coatings that will be used to prevent or mitigate wear of machine part components that are used in_x000D_
oil sands processing, upgrading, and transport. Here, the industry sponsor and the applicants wish to expand on_x000D_
Imperial Oil's current suite and catalog of wear resistant coating solutions by introducing advanced metal_x000D_
matrix composite coating materials into their business. Coatings are used by a variety of industries in a_x000D_
plenitude of applications to provide protection to machine parts from the adverse effects of surface degradation_x000D_
processes such as corrosion, wear, and high temperatures. Variations of coatings have been developed, and_x000D_
some of these developments have been motivated by the need for new coating solutions and shifts in industrial_x000D_
markets. The applicants, by way of their expertise and interactions with various stakeholders, have identified_x000D_
that the development of new advanced coatings with multi-purpose capabilities that extend beyond surface_x000D_
protection against only one surface degradation mechanism will offer a unique expansion of the utility of_x000D_
coatings into novel areas that have been established by industry and government. While coatings are known to_x000D_
provide reliable protection, failures can occur. This research proposal will address the development of_x000D_
advanced next-generation metal matrix composite coatings and mechanism-based modelling of failures of_x000D_
these coatings. By focusing on these areas, the outcome of this industry-supported research project will be the_x000D_
design and development of reinforced wear-resistant coating material systems for improvements in oil sands_x000D_
