Overview
This new DTC has been set up in collaboration with Rolls-Royce plc and the Universities of Swansea and Birmingham. This builds on the longstanding University Technology Partnership (UTP) researching into materials for gas turbines applications.
• Up to 7 fully funded places to study for a PhD available in the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy at the University of Cambridge
• Degree in Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry or Engineering required (depending upon research topic)
• Four years funding
• £13,290 plus up to £5,000 pa additional funding available
• Fully funded for UK residents - Fees for EU residents
• Working with Rolls-Royce plc on Materials for Gas Turbines applications
• Excellent track record of recruitment into the Company
• Integrated training courses taught at all three Universities
• For more information on the projects and how to apply see http://www.msm.cam.ac.uk/
• Informal queries to Mrs Judy Boothroyd via email at jdb51@cam.ac.uk
PhD opportunities available for Oct 2010
3D microscopy of latest generation nickel base superalloys
(supervisor: Prof Paul Midgley)
The use of dual microstructure heat treatments and inertia welding leads to considerable spatial variations in the microstructures across turbine discs. As these variations have a profound influence on the local mechanical properties it is critical that the mechanisms by which these microstructures evolve is understood so that production processes may be efficiently refined to deliver components with optimal properties.
Recent advances in electron imaging techniques now make it possible to acquire quantitative 3D digital reconstructions of sample microstructures over a wide range of length scales from microns to nanometres. In this project these techniques will be further developed and used to study the microstructure of nickel-base superalloys and their evolution during thermomechanical processing.
