INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF ALLOYING ELEMENTS ON SHEAR BAND FORMATION DURING THE WARM ROLLING OF LOW CARBON AND INTERSTITIAL FREE STEELS. This proposal involves the application of three dimensional atom probe field ion microscopy and advanced transmission electron microscopy techniques to study the phenomena of precipitation and solute atoms' interactions with dislocations in warm rolled low carbon steels and interstitial free steels.

This proposal involves the application of three dimensional atom probe field ion microscopy and advanced transmission electron microscopy techniques to study the phenomena of precipitation and solute atoms' interactions with dislocations in warm rolled low carbon steels and interstitial free steels. It is intended to examine the effect of alloying additions on in-grain shear bands formation, texture formation and formability of warm rolled and annealed low carbon steels. Ultimately, the project is concerned with developing of fundamental understanging of solute interactions which provide an improved basis for design of these economically significant steels.Read moreRead less

Summary
Near Net Shaped Casting and Alloy Development Facility. Nearly all metal production is based around an initial casting phase, often followed by other deformation and thermal processes. This facility will allow us to study current and future advanced alloys and processing routes, including metals of strategic importance to Australia such as aluminium, titanium and magnesium. One of the major innovations for these metals is to directly cast to strip, followed by minimal processing to provide str ....Near Net Shaped Casting and Alloy Development Facility. Nearly all metal production is based around an initial casting phase, often followed by other deformation and thermal processes. This facility will allow us to study current and future advanced alloys and processing routes, including metals of strategic importance to Australia such as aluminium, titanium and magnesium. One of the major innovations for these metals is to directly cast to strip, followed by minimal processing to provide strip products with novel properties, low capital costs and short lead times. The outcomes from this research will support the development of existing and new metal industries in Australia.Read moreRead less
