Automotive sheet requires a demanding range of properties; it must be strong, formable, corrosion resistant, and have good surface appearance. Achieving these properties requires careful control of the microstructure during processing. Novelis have decades of accumulated experience that is used to optimize processing, but it would also be useful to have a predictive capability to simulate the link between microstructure and formability. This project will use crystal plasticity finite element modelling (CPFEM) as a framework to simulate the link between processing, microstructure, and formability. The simulations will be validated using forming trials using a new advanced forming press within the Sir Henry Royce Institute in Advanced Materials. The project will involve computer simulation, experimental validation, and advanced electron microscopy to characterize microstructure. The project is directly linked to the business goals of Novelis, and will involve strong collaboration, including opportunities to spend time working at Novelis research facilities in Switzerland and the USA. Candidates with a background in materials science, engineering, or physical sciences with an interest in combining computer simulation with practical experiments are encouraged to apply.The project is part of a large UK programme on light alloys (LightForm) - you will be joining the largest UK group of researchers working on light alloys alloys and will work in a vibrant team environment with lots of opportunity to interact with your peers, collaborate with other Universities and interact with industry.

汽车表需要苛刻的属性；它必须具有强，形成，耐腐蚀性，并具有良好的表面外观。实现这些属性需要仔细控制处理过程中的微观结构。 Novelis具有数十年的积累经验，用于优化处理，但是具有模拟微观结构与可调节性之间的联系的预测能力也很有用。该项目将使用晶体可塑性有限元建模（CPFEM）作为框架，以模拟处理，微观结构和形成性之间的链接。模拟将使用亨利·罗伊斯爵士研究所内的新高级成型媒体在高级材料中进行验证。该项目将涉及计算机模拟，实验验证和高级电子显微镜，以表征显微结构。该项目与Novelis的业务目标直接相关，并将涉及强大的合作，包括花时间在瑞士和美国的Novelis研究设施工作。鼓励具有材料科学，工程或物理科学背景的候选人，他们鼓励将计算机模拟与实践实验相结合。该项目是英国大型计划的项目的一部分（Lightform） - 您将加入英国最大的研究人员小组，从事光线合金合金的研究人员，并将与许多机会与许多机会进行互动，并与其他机会进行互动，并与您的其他机会进行互动。
