New Approaches to Understanding Grain Boundary Chemistry

这个项目将提供一个从根本上更好地了解晶界偏析和钢和铝合金的再结晶行为之间的关系。这些知识将导致更有效的热机械加工技术，这将有利于澳大利亚的钢铁和轻合金工业。即将开发的实验技术将是此类技术中的第一个。它们在其他合金系统的未来偏析研究中具有巨大的潜力，预计将在未来几年内为基础和应用研究做出重大贡献。

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.
