Richard Bailey

Richard Bailey is Senior Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at De Montfort University's Faculty of Computing, Engineering and Media. His research specializes in surface engineering for tribological, corrosion resistance, and biomedical applications, particularly titanium surface treatments.

Research focuses on:

• Design/testing of surface treatments for titanium biomaterials
• Development of oxygen-carbon incorporated titanium treatments
• Tribology and corrosion of advanced coatings

Recent publications emphasize titanium/corrosion studies, with trends in:

• Surface modification techniques (thermal oxidation, carburizing)
• Biomedical material performance
• Tribological behavior in corrosive environments
