Understanding Crystallographic Texture Evolution in Two-Phase (HCP/BCC) alloys

金属广泛用于复杂环境中的承载应用。它们的性能取决于材料微观结构的潜在行为，由于滑移和各向异性弹性性能的离散和晶体性质，材料微观结构自然是各向异性的。本项目的重点是开发基于快速傅里叶变换的高效晶体塑性模拟两相合金晶体织构演变的有效方法。与Rolls-Royce plc合作，材料将使用HR-EBSD进行表征，以确定纹理，这将进一步刺激计算工作。

Metals are widely used for load-bearing applications in complex environments. Their properties are dependent on the underlying behaviour of the material microstructure, which is naturally anisotropic due to the discreet and crystallographic nature of slip and anisotropic elastic properties. This project focuses on developing efficient methods of modelling the evolution of crystallographic texture in two-phase alloys using efficient crystal plasticity based upon the fast Fourier transform. Working with Rolls-Royce plc, materials will be characterised using HR-EBSD to determine textures which will further stimulate the computational work.
