New Approaches to Understanding Grain Boundary Chemistry

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project will provide a fundamentally better understanding of the relationship between grain boundary segregation and the recrystallisation behaviour of steel and Al alloys. This knowledge will lead to more efficient thermomechanical processing techniques, which will be of benefit to Australia's steel and light alloy industries. The experimental techniques to be developed will be the first of their kind. They have enormous potential for use in future segregation studies of other alloy systems and are expected to make a major contribution to fundamental and applied research over the next few years.
