Thesis director Dr. José Antonio Yagüe, Universidad de Zaragoza y Dr. Eneko Gómez Acedo, Tekniker

This PhD study aims to improve the accuracy of MTs and also to develop knowledge for traceable coordinate measurement machine (CMM) measurements on MTs. The technology to run a dimensional measurement on an MT already exists but the knowledge to do traceable measurements is under research, as it is reported in this thesis.

Tribocorrosion of high-strength low-alloy steels and coatings used in offshore applications

Author: Ainara López Ortega
Date2018
Thesis director Raquel Bayón, Tekniker y José Luís Arana, ETSI Bilbao

The present thesis deals with the assessment of tribocorrosion of HSLA steels used in chains of offshore mooring lines, which have been reported to be profoundly affected by both wear and corrosion during their service life. Additionally, the second part of the thesis is focused on the evaluation of protective coatings employed for the protection of steel components and structures from corrosion.
