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

金属被广泛用于复杂环境中的承重应用。它们的性能取决于材料微观结构的基本行为，由于滑移和各向异性弹性性质的离散和结晶学性质，材料微观结构自然是各向异性的。该项目致力于开发基于快速傅立叶变换的高效晶体塑性来模拟两相合金中晶体织构的演化的有效方法。与劳斯莱斯公司合作，材料将使用HR-EBSD来表征，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.
