industrial gas turbine engines that are both cost effective (equipment cost, cost of ownership, throughput) and_x000D_
allow mechanical properties' control and stress control of the coatings to maximize application performance._x000D_
MCT's current vacuum arc plasma film technology works on the principle of physical vapor deposition (PVD)_x000D_
methodology to deposit up to 50-micron thick film. The process is prohibitively slow, costing the company_x000D_
turnaround time to service established customers, and increasingly depressing its business vision to grow in the_x000D_
geothermal and renewable energy market. Challenging enough, components deployed in these burgeoning_x000D_
applications require surface protective layers developed on heat sensitive substrates and vacuum-incompatible_x000D_
shapes. The goal of this NSERC Engage project is to develop and evaluate the high-temperature (>500-deg C)_x000D_
fluid erosion and fatigue properties of a novel nanostructured coating by spraying ceramic-metallic_x000D_
nanocrystalline composite Al2O3-Ni(Cr) particle feedstock developed in Dr. Saha's Nanocomposites and_x000D_
Mechanics (NCM) Lab at UNB. Feedstock spray work will be accomplished using a low thermal energy_x000D_
technology, high pressure cold spray (HPCS), at the National Research Council's thermal spray lab at_x000D_
Boucherville (QC). The coating test and characterization work will be conducted jointly in NCM Lab and_x000D_
MCT's in-house lab in Montreal, QC. The obtained results, assessed against desired objectives, will take this_x000D_
industrial collaboration into three distinct and integrative levels: (1) determine the coating technology readiness_x000D_
level (TRL), expected to fall between 4 and 6, by implementing results into field trials, (2) amass resources to_x000D_
own an HPCS infrastructure at MCT's PEI Manufacturing site, and (3) embark on a 5-year CRD project to_x000D_
bring the technology to customer service readiness following rigorous research and development curriculum._x000D_
