(Industrial Partner: Tata Steel)
Project Overview:
This PhD is a 3 year CASE award studentship between WMG and our industrial partner Tata Steel.
Supervisor:
The project will be co-supervised by Prof Seetharaman, Royal Academy of Engineering / Tata Steel Research Chair in Low Carbon Materials Technologies, and Professor Richard Dashwood, Academic Director, WMG
Project:
The proposed research aims to characterize the precipitation events of non-metallic particles during solidification of micro-alloyed steels in order to develop a fundamental understanding that would provide guidance to optimized alloying, which would enable for direct hot-charging without sacrificing the final micro-structure quality.
Direct hot-charging eliminates the need for re-heating and is an energy efficient option to produce flat steel products.
The approach is to combine a range of high temperature time resolved in-situ methods; synchrotron based methods to identify the evolving phases, and confocal scanning laser microscopy for imaging.Â
