Description

As-printed titanium alloys with exceptional strain hardening. This project aims to make breakthrough developments of additively manufactured titanium alloys by utilising a new strain hardening mechanism. The project expects to generate new knowledge on how to effectively strengthen the commercial alloys’ microstructure and achieve superior damage tolerance. Expected outcomes of this project include an enhanced capacity to develop and commercialise titanium alloys with balanced mechanical performance that surpasses current versions. This should provide significant benefits, such as wide adoption of 3D-printed products in aerospace, transportation and energy industries and enhancing Australia’s international standing in cutting-edge research on advanced manufacturing.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 4014 - Manufacturing Engineering. Lead: Prof Aijun Huang
