Engineering alloy design reimagined as a driven system

该项目研究了一种新的工程合金设计方法，该方法明确考虑并利用了变形加工过程中传递到合金中的能量。这项工作旨在解决有关材料结构演变的变形处理效果以及这种结构对所得机械和腐蚀性能的影响的基本问题。这种方法产生的新结构非常精细和均匀，这表明它们既坚固又耐腐蚀。拟议的工作旨在揭示这些结构和新性能的起源，并利用它们来设计具有显着改善性能的新型工程合金。

This project investigates a new approach to engineering alloy design that explicitly takes into account, and exploits, the energy delivered into an alloy during deformation processing. The work intends to resolve fundamental questions concerning the effect of deformation processing of the evolution of the material structure and the effect this structure has on the resulting mechanical and corrosion properties. The new structures resulting from this approach are remarkably fine and uniform suggesting they will be both strong and corrosion resistant. The proposed work intends to uncover the origins of both these structures and new properties, and exploit them for the design of new engineering alloys with greatly improved properties.
