项目摘要

The UK has recently become the first major economy in the world committed to bring all greenhouse gas emission to net zero by 2050. The emphasis of the metal industry, a vital part of the UK's foundation industries, but a challenging area to deep decarbonise, is to develop new ways to produce and recycle metallic materials in an energy-efficient, low-cost and sustainable manner. Solidification is an important route for manufacturing and recycling of metals and alloys. Use of magnetic fields to control solidification has been researched for several decades with a variety of applications ranging from metal purification to advanced liquid metal processing. Successful examples include removing ceramic particles from aluminium melts and improving the internal quality of cast steels. There is huge potential for magnetic fields to be used in new applications such as metal recycling and advanced processing. Magnetic fields have a strong interaction with molten metals and alloys. The interaction is governed by the induced Lorentz force, which modulate the flow of the liquid molten alloys. My recent article [1] demonstrated that the interaction between magnetic fields and molten alloys can be controlled , paving the way towards novel methods for optimizing how magnetic fields can be used in industrial-scale manufacturing and recycling processes. I believe this technology will produce substantial improvements over the current state-of-the-art in process efficiency and materials performance. My recent patent (WO2020/012199A1) using this concept has shown that contaminated iron element in aluminium alloys can be driven out by magnetic fields when aluminium alloys are at the molten state, and subsequently the impurity can be removed effectively, a challenge that metallurgists have struggled to overcome after 40 years of research. The overarching aim of the Fellowship is to develop innovative magnet assemblies for materials manufacturing and recycling. This work will be underpinned by fundamental studies to uncover key underlying mechanisms. Based on my previous discovery and feasibility studies, in this Fellowship, I will develop patentable techniques utilizing magnetic fields for (1) the purification of recycled Al alloys, (2) the property improvement of high temperature alloys and (3) the microstructure control of metal additive manufacturing (3D printing). The Fellowship will accelerate the process of bringing the innovation from the lab to the market, as it provides unique opportunities to work with key industry partners. I will also address the underlying mechanisms for MHD control using a multidisciplinary approach, building upon my Turing Fellowship, coupling synchrotron based 4D (3D plus time) observation, data-driven analytics, and multi-physics modelling. This will not only lay strong foundations for process optimization, but also accelerate the development of entirely new solutions for incorporating MHD in manufacturing and recycling. The success of the Fellowship will increase the competitiveness of the UK's metal industries including aluminium recycling, casting, and additive manufacturing. [1] Cai et a.

英国最近成为世界上第一个承诺到2050年将所有温室气体排放量降至零的主要经济体。金属工业是英国基础产业的重要组成部分,但也是深度脱碳的一个挑战性领域,其重点是开发新的方法,以节能,低成本和可持续的方式生产和回收金属材料。凝固是金属和合金制造和回收的重要途径。利用磁场来控制凝固已经研究了几十年,其应用范围从金属纯化到先进的液态金属加工。成功的例子包括从铝熔体中去除陶瓷颗粒和改善铸钢的内部质量。磁场在金属回收和先进加工等新应用中具有巨大的潜力。磁场与熔融金属和合金有很强的相互作用。这种相互作用受感应洛仑兹力控制,洛仑兹力调节液态熔融合金的流动。我最近的文章[1]证明了磁场和熔融合金之间的相互作用是可以控制的,为优化磁场在工业规模制造和回收过程中的应用铺平了道路。我相信这项技术将在工艺效率和材料性能方面比目前最先进的技术有实质性的改进。我最近的专利(WO 2020/012199 A1)使用了这一概念,表明当铝合金处于熔融状态时,铝合金中受污染的铁元素可以被磁场驱逐,随后可以有效地去除杂质,这是一个挑战,是专家们经过40年的研究努力克服的。该奖学金的首要目标是开发用于材料制造和回收的创新磁体组件。这项工作将得到基础研究的支持,以揭示关键的潜在机制。基于我以前的发现和可行性研究,在本奖学金中,我将开发利用磁场的专利技术,用于(1)回收铝合金的纯化,(2)高温合金的性能改善和(3)金属增材制造(3D打印)的微观结构控制。该奖学金将加速将创新从实验室推向市场的过程,因为它提供了与关键行业合作伙伴合作的独特机会。我还将使用多学科方法解决MHD控制的基本机制,建立在我的图灵奖学金基础上,耦合基于同步加速器的4D(3D加时间)观察,数据驱动的分析和多物理建模。这不仅为工艺优化奠定了坚实的基础,还将加速开发全新的解决方案,将MHD纳入制造和回收。该奖学金的成功将提高英国金属行业的竞争力,包括铝回收,铸造和增材制造。[1]Cai等.材料学报,2020(196):200-209 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actamat.2020.06.041
