The effect of Aluminium on the deformation mechanisms in Titanium
The aim of this experiment is to study the effect of Aluminium (Al) on deformation mechanisms in Titanium (Ti) alloys with a particular emphasis on studying twinning. Titanium... -
Diffraction peak shape and polycrystalline plasticity modelling
We propose to exploit the high resolution and well defined peak shape on HRPD to measure the evolution of peak profile shape at the early stages of deformation in stainless... -
Texture evolution in Zircalloy 4 during beta heat treatment
The aim of the proposed experiment is to measure the changes in crystallographic temperature during beta quenching of Zircalloy 4, an important nuclear fuel cladding material. -
The effect of Oxygen on twinning in Zr model alloys
This experiment is aimed to study the effect of Oxygen on deformation mechanisms in Zr alloys with a particular emphasis on studying twinning. Oxygen is found in many Zr alloys... -
The role of dislocation slip on the activation of different twinning modes in...
Twinning is an important deformation mechanism in hcp metals like Zirconium. It is now accepted that, unless twinning is accounted for, the typical deformation textures in these... -
The effect of aluminium on the deformation mechanisms in titanium alloys
The aim of this experiment is to measure the intergranular strain evolution in two types of single phase titanium alloys. While commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti) is known to... -
The effect of Sn and Oxygen on the deformation mechanisms in Zirconium
The aim of this experiment is to study the effect of Sn and Oxygen on deformation mechanisms in Zr alloys with a particular emphasis on studying twinning. Both alloying elements...
