Enrico Corniani is ESR in AC²T and Atomki. His thesis merge two different fields of science, Mechanical Engineering and Nuclear Physics, and focuses on developing a wear mesuring technique based on radioactive isotopes and apply it to different materials (metals, polymers, textured, multiphase ... ) to study their tribological behaviour. Actually is developing a "double-isotope" technique that will allow an on-line wear measurement on multiphase materials (multiphase materials currently tested are an Alluminium Aloy (AL-Si-Cu) and a Chromium Carbides Steel (AISI 52100 or 100Cr6).
