Biography

Ph.D.Sc. Assoc. Prof. Cezary Senderowski is a graduate of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Military University of Technology (MUT) in Warsaw, where he obtained Master of Science degree in the construction and exploitation of machines and specialization in aircraft and helicopters in 1990. From 1990 to 2000 he worked in the Training Centre of Armament and Electronics in Olsztyn and from 2000 to 2004 in the Education and Training Division of the Land Forces Command in Warsaw.

In 2002 Senderowski received his PhD degree in the construction and exploitation of machines, specialization - metallic protective coatings defended on the basis of the PhD thesis entitled "Research of gas detonation structure and properties of protective coatings on the base of iron-aluminum phase".

The doctorate thesis was defended at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of MUT. From 2004 to 2017 he worked as an assistant professor, respectively at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and in the Department of Advanced Materials and Technologies at the Faculty of Advanced Technologies and Chemistry. He has been employed as the professor, the head of the Department of Materials Technology and Machinery at the Faculty of Technology of the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn since 2017. His scientific research started in 1987 and is closely associated with the activities of the material and technology team of the Institute of Materials Science and Applied Mechanics, and since 2006, the Department of Advanced Materials and Technologies of the MUT. His knowledge and improved research methodologies were broadened in the field of technologies and research regarding metallic alloys, allowing him to specialize in the area of surface engineering.

The area of his scientific interest involved specific modifications introduced to the surface layer of aircraft engine turbine blades made of heat resistant Vitalium type cobalt alloy. Modern methods were used such as laser surface treatment and Al, Ni as well as Al/Ni ion implantation. Subsequent research was focused on the properties of Fe-Al type intermetallic protective coatings obtained by the HVOF and gas detonation spraying (GDS) ultrasonic methods as well as by PVD PA method.

However, the main area of his interest involved the detonation spray method implemented in order to produce intermetallic protective coatings out of the Fe-Al self-decomposing powders (with different chemical compositions – also with C, Si and B alloy additions).

He has prepared the concept of the application of hybrid coating systems including Fe-Al intermetallic protective coating with NiAl or NiCr interlayers, analysing the phenomenon of dependence of the level of strengthening and thermal stability of the FeAl coating on the mechanical properties of the substrate used (interlayer), which in consequence provided a powerful tool to control the functional properties of detonation sprayed Fe-Al intermetallic coating.
The researches was supported by research project “Interlayer for Fe-Al type detonation gas spraying coatings” (Grant No. 0T00C01830 / 2006).

In 2010 and 2015 he participated in the research during the scientific internship held at the E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kiev (Department of Protective Coatings). Senderowski contributed to the project entitled Multifunctional metallic protective coatings synthesized by supersonic stream metallization (Research project – habilitation grant Nr N N508 486238/2010) and in the international Project INNOPIPES No. 318874 under 7 Frame Programme financed by European Commission’s Research Execution Agency (action SP-3, Marie-Curie, IRSES) entitled „Innovative Nondestructive Testing and Advanced Composite Repair of Pipelines with Volumetric Surface Defects”.

In addition, in 2007 and 2014 he completed two short-term scientific internships, respectively at University of Woolongong, Australia (2007) and in Interface&Thin Film Group, Department of Physics at Warwick University, Coventry, United Kingdom (2014).
