phd Scholarship in Design Light Metal At Monash University, Australia
The manufacturing sector in general is currently focussing on increased efficiency, whether it be in the area of reduced emissions, lower scrap, less processing steps or shorter turnaround times.
In the aerospace environment, the buy-to-fly ratio is particularly important, and it is common for structural components in Aluminium or Titanium to have buy-to-fly ratios of 20:1 or even 40:1. Conventional alloy processing attempts to firstly achieve homogeneous alloy components and then to use thermal treatments to deliver an acceptable distribution of phases. This is not only inefficient but also restricts the range of resultant microstructures and therefore mechanical properties that are achievable.
There are two aspects to the project:
The scholarship provides an annual tax-free stipend of AUS $28,000.Candidates must meet the eligibility criteria for PhD candidature at Monash University:http://www.mrgs.monash.edu.au/research/d...ter2a.html

There are two aspects to the project:
- Fundamental scientific advances in the understanding of mixed powder flight behaviour with respect to chemistry, morphology, temperature and pressure.
- Design of novel microstructures. The process is carried out entirely in the solid state and it is possible to tailor microstructures that cannot be achieved by the conventional molten processing routes for specific combinations of properties. The design criteria will be formulated by modelling the behaviour of two phase structures, and validated by experiment. The effect of post-processing using HIP will also be explored.
