Metals and Alloys
Studies in the Metals and Alloys category investigate phase transformations, mechanical metallurgy and corrosion mechanisms in metallic systems. Research spans alloy design via thermodynamic simulations, heat‑treatment optimisation and precipitation‑hardening strategies. Mechanical characterisation under static and cyclic loading—including tensile, creep and fatigue tests—validates performance under service conditions. Electrochemical methods assess corrosion behaviour in diverse environments, informing protective coatings and inhibitor development. Interdisciplinary work linking metallurgical processes with additive manufacturing and recycling supports sustainable metal lifecycles.
