This project will apply in-situ transmission electron microscopy nanoindentation to understand the relationships among microstructures, deformation mechanisms and mechanical properties of advanced metallic materials, including nanostructured alloys and metallic amorphous-crystalline composites. The results will deliver the fundamental science to design materials with optimum mechanical properties for a wide range of applications, such as fuel-efficient aircraft and road vehicles. The project will bring a cutting-edge technique to Australian science that adds an important arm to our already prominent research strengths in materials science, and will provide Australian scientists greater capability to understand and design advanced materials.Read moreRead less
