Funded Activity Summary

A Unified Crystallographic Theory of Phase Transformations in Solids. Phase transformations control the microstructures that govern the properties of metallic materials. The unified crystallographic theory to be developed will improve the understanding of phase transformation and then enhance the ability to produce high performance metals and alloys. This is particularly important in the automotive and aeronautical industries, as these sectors seek increasing fuel efficiency through weight reduction. The new scientific knowledge generated will significantly impact and contribute to the fields of physical metallurgy and materials science. Furthermore, the research will also strengthen Australia's international leading position in the fields because it is based on the theories developed in Australia.
