They cover coating technologies generally, friction surfacing, friction stir processing, surface reinforcements of
light alloys, and characterizing friction stir processing by electrical conductivity.
They discuss mechanisms of superplasticity, grain boundary sliding, deformation and cavitation, microstructures, and textures; superplastic materials like ceramics,
light alloys, titanium alloys, and intermetallics; design, testing, and numerical modeling; the forming process and SPF structure simulation; forming dies and post SPF processes and properties; processing, including grain refinement and processing, high strain rate and low temperature superplasticity, and superplastic forging and rolling; and industrial applications mainly in aeronautics and the automotive industry.
It funds research that seeks to replace steel and
light alloys with fibre-reinforced composites, including carbon fibre, in automotive designs.
Advances on hot extrusion and simulation of
light alloys.
For a start, the birthday X5 will be painted in a unique Sophisto Grey metallic paint, complete with 20in Y-spoke
light alloys.
He has an extensive record of collaborative research with industry, making extensive R&D and engineering contributions to the steel industry and auto parts industry in many areas including steel making, rolling, micro alloying, and automotive casting processes, particularly for
light alloys of magnesium and aluminium.
The DALISTICK is designed to achieve thin metallic layers and surface-finishing on steel substrates or
light alloys.
A Magthro eddy current plant designed by Rutherford
Light Alloys of Grantham, U.K., has been installed at Northwest Recycling in Houston.
The energy range available on BM16 is well suited to measurements of residual strain in components made in
light alloys, (Al- or Ti-based), linked for example to aerospace applications [19].
All vehicles have
light alloys wheels and rear air suspension with comfortable cabs, fully equipped with every creature comfort, including leather upholstery and a fridge.
This high-production and jobbing foundry handles
light alloys via sand molding, permanent mold and pressure diecasting as well as other pressure diecast nonferrous metals.
