ASTM F-75 is a standardised material for implant use and is widely used for components which have moving-contact surfaces, i.e. femorals. ASTM F-75 (CoCr) prosthetic knee...

This proposal aims (1) to characterize the residual stress in Titanium alloys prepared by direct metal laser sintering, an additive layer manufacturing process; (2) to correlate...

Inconel 718 alloys are widely used in industry. However, deformation behaviour of the different phases in the alloys during plastic deformation under loading has not been...

In the past years we have developed a method measuring carrier recombination lifetime in semiconductors using the photo-MuSR setup in HIFI. These studies have focused on...

We wish to gain a deeper understanding of where dopant cations and anions reside in hydroxyapatite (HA). We will substitute Sr, Si, 11B and S into the HA structure and determine...

The tetragonal chemically-ordered L10 FeNi phase has recently attracted significant attention for advanced permanent magnet applications due to its compelling magnetic...

Many of the structural and dynamical properties of alcohols are due to the existence of intermolecular hydrogen bonds. It is of general interest the study of their dynamic and...

In this proposal we wish to study in situ formation of methane hydrates in surfactant solutions. The broad aim of this research is to enable us to understand how we can...

Flow forming is a well-developed metal forming process to produce cylinders, flanged components, shafts and gears etc. In flow forming process a hallow metal blank, a disc or a...

Pseudoelastic, ferromagnetic Co2NiGa type high-temperature shape memory alloys (HT-SMAs) are characterized by a wide range of tunable transformation temperatures and lower...

Our experiments on hydrogen sorption in nanoporous activated carbon materials on TOSCA (RB1210041) previously revealed surprising behavior of supercritical hydrogen adsorbed...

Understanding the micro-scale processes that act during the loading of cemented granular materials (e.g., sandstones) is yet to be achieved. Recent developments have proven that...

When metals are placed under load at high temperature they usually deform over time; a process known as creep. In this experiment we will look at the creep behaviour of a type...

Porous polymer materials are important given their use in a wide variety of applications, for example detection of pollutants in the environment or security sensing of explosive...

Semiconductor industry is currently offering 7 nm technology node with FinFET fabrication processes. Soft error causing mechanisms and error rates for FinFET technologies are...

We aim to utilise Low-Energy Neutron Scattering (LENS) at OSIRIS to investigate the effects of gas adsorption on the quantum rotation of the methyl groups present in a Metal...

The material to be studied is nuclear graphite used in the core of the Gas-cooled Reactors in the UK. It is a non-replaceable component and therefore life-limiting. During...

YMnO3 attracted significant attention because of its multiferroic properties and the "geometric origin" of its ferroelectricity. Despite numerous studies of this compound, the...

Creep lifetime of high temperature power plant materials are significantly affected due to predicted and unpredicted cyclic loading during plant operation. Our previous study...

Residual stresses are detrimental to performance of large reactor components, and knowledge of the stress state in the manufactured components is necessary in order to carry out...
