Machine Tool Chatter PhD Scholarship

Scholarship Description

CAST CRC and DMTC are seeking applicants to undertake a PhD based at UQ. The high manufacturing costs associated with the production of components from titanium alloys is a critical problem in the aerospace industry. The aerospace industry as the largest user of titanium components demands finer tolerances and higher quality components, and this requires an even greater level of process control. An undesirable phenomenon that restricts productivity while machining titanium alloys is chatter. The research focus will be on developing models and testing them to suppress chatter occurance during machining of titanium alloys and hence enhance the productivity envelope.
