Metal Additive Manufacturing can be used to build smart structural features and parts. Residual Stress and distortion is probably the biggest challenge. Lab-scale parts with...

The proposal is to study three alloys, both at high temperature and room temperature, to corroborate strain results obtained through high resolution digital image correlation....

Flow forming is a cold forming process used for the production of dimensionally accurate near net shaped hollow components used in various fields of industry. Due to the nature...

We propose to develop the means to measure the orientations, phases and strains of individual crystal grains within a polycrystal using neutrons. Such measurements have...

The present research proposal focuses on solving technological challenges associated with the implementation of components of Nickel superalloys produced by Additive...

Martensitic transformations are solid-state transformations on completion of which a hard phase having very high dislocation density is obtained. Despite often being an...

In welded joints subjected to multiaxial fatigue, it is of interest to determine both the time to crack initiation and propagation to understand what controls fatigue life of...

The proposed experiment forms a part of a joint study by M. Rahman, an ILL PhD thesis student, and J. Brokx, a CDT thesis student supported by ISIS. In the proposed experiment,...

ATLAS+ is a four year, €7M Horizon 2020 project aimed at developing and validating advanced structural integrity assessment methodologies for non-RPV primary circuit pressure...

The aerospace industry is adopting Material Addition (MA) processes, such as Direct LaserDeposition (DLD), for the original manufacture or repair of complex/high value...

Additive Layer Manufacturing (ALM) is an innovative manufacturing process which offers near-net shape fabrication of complex components. Among the various ALM processes,...

The aim of the present proposal is to determine the influence of the different martensite transformation regimes (either stress-assisted or strain-induced) on the proceeding...

Second generation high temperature superconducting (2G HTS) tapes are one of the most rapidly developing branches of superconducting materials. The GdBaCuO tapes are more...

As additive manufacturing (AM) is moving into the production of more heavily loaded end-use components, particularly within the aerospace sector, improved understanding of the...

Martensitic transformations are solid-state transformations on completion of which a hard phase having very high dislocation density is obtained. Despite often being an...

70% of the world’s steel production is conducted via the blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace (BF-BOF, Fig 1.) route using raw materials to meet the low residual, low inclusion...

This experiment aims to study the strain induced transformation mechanism at temperatures between room temperature and low temperatures, and at extremely low temperatures. These...

Suspension and solution precursor (SSP) spraying is an emerging thermal spraying technology which utilises liquid feedstock containing sub-micrometre and nanoparticles. Alumina...

Deformation in polycrystalline material is inhomogeneous. Our previous study using neutron diffraction has shown due to these inhomogeneities, during high temperature cyclic...

In this study, in-situ tensile testing will be used to determine the degree of load partitioning that occurs between the gamma and gamma prime phases in a series of model...
