Summary
Selective laser melting - an advanced manufacturing and physical modelling technology for the digital age. Selective laser melting is a new manufacturing technology that creates parts layer by layer directly from a computer model, eliminating the need for tooling or machining. This technology will be applied to a diverse range of research areas from producing the next generation of medical implants and devices to improving our understanding of geo-materials.
Development of highly formable magnesium sheet. This project will develop alloy and processing technologies that can be used to fabricate lighter and better performing magnesium products. These magnesium products can improve fuel efficiency, resulting in lower emission and environmental pollution.

Grain size refinement of near beta titanium alloys - a route to developing new advanced medical implants and devices. This project seeks to develop targeted material solutions for application in the manufacture of new and improved medical components, such as stents. This will be achieved by developing new biocompatible beta titanium alloys with mechanical properties and forming behaviour that are optimised for implant applications associated with endovascular procedures.

Improvement of Additive Manufacturing Processability of Alloys and Ceramics. As the current materials that can be additively processed are still very limited, this project aims to increase the additive manufacturing processability of commercial engineering materials through developing effective and practical grain refinement technology so that more engineering parts can be additively fabricated. The project expects to widen the applications of this advanced manufacturing technology in industry p ....Improvement of Additive Manufacturing Processability of Alloys and Ceramics. As the current materials that can be additively processed are still very limited, this project aims to increase the additive manufacturing processability of commercial engineering materials through developing effective and practical grain refinement technology so that more engineering parts can be additively fabricated. The project expects to widen the applications of this advanced manufacturing technology in industry productions. Expected outcomes include commercialisation ready grain refinement technologies and breakthrough fundamental understanding of the physical metallurgy of melt pools. This should enhance Australia’s capability to establish world-leading additive manufacturing activities serving to various other industry sectors. Read moreRead less
