Physics-based Modelling of Microstructure Evolution in High-strength 6xxx Aluminium Alloys:

本研究采用CALPHAD型热力学模型和相场法相结合的方法，对铝合金加工过程中的微观组织演变进行数值模拟，以预测任意工艺参数下铝合金的微观组织特征。该项目将是布鲁内尔康斯特利姆大学技术中心(UTC)活动的一部分，并将与提供数字制造领域多学科研究的材料制造智能中心(MMSC)密切合作进行。除了MMSC在材料、基于物理的建模和数据科学方面的领先研究人员外，您还将有机会与MMSC的五个合作机构(谢菲尔德大学、伦敦大学学院、剑桥大学、布鲁内尔大学、诺丁汉大学和斯旺西大学)进行互动，并听取康斯特利姆工业研究工程师的建议。在物理冶金和材料工艺建模方面有很强的背景是必不可少的。有晶体塑性、铝合金和计算机编程经验者优先。

This research project is focused on the numerical simulation of microstructure evolution during processing of aluminium alloys, using a combination of Calphad-type thermodynamic modelling and the phase-field method, to predict microstructural features of these alloys for any given set of process parameters. The project will be part of activities of the Constellium University Technology Centre (UTC) at Brunel and will be conducted in close collaboration with the Materials Made Smarter Centre (MMSC), which delivers multidisciplinary research in the area of Digital Manufacturing. You will have the opportunity to interact with and receive advice from Constellium's industrial research engineers in addition to the MMSC's leading researchers in materials, physics-based modelling, and data science, across MMSC's five partner institutions (Universities of Sheffield, UCL, Cambridge, Brunel, Nottingham, and Swansea). A strong background in physical metallurgy and materials process modelling is essential. Experience in crystal plasticity, aluminium alloys and computer programming is desirable.
