APAI Linkage Project - Boeing
Scholarship Description
A study of the effects of severe plastic deformation by Equal Channel Angular Processing (ECAP) on the crystallographic anisotropy and the resulting relationships between microstructure and properties. Approach: 1. Perform ECAP of aluminium alloys supplied by The Boeing Company; 2. Evaluate microstructure, mechanical properties (static, fatigue, fracture), and corrosion properties; 3. Evaluate microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion properties of friction welded joints of above materials; and 4. provide recommendations on chemistry and processing. Graduates in other engineering or science disciplines with a strong interest in structure and processing of materials may also be considered.
