About the Project

The project will be carried out in collaboration with our industry partner MELD Manufacturing at the Institute for Frontier Materials, Deakin University, Geelong, Australia (ifm.deakin.edu.au).

Achieving sub-micron grains in steels is usually confined to small volumes of materials of simple geometry subjected to severe thermomechanical processing. Here we aim to create potential for high strength ultrafine microstructures in large complex structures. Recently we have demonstrated that a new large-format solid-state metal additive manufacturing process, Additive Friction Stir Deposition (AFSD), can produce uniform ultrafine structures in bulk deposits of stainless steel. The project seeks to understand microstructure development in austenitic and duplex stainless steels produced by to AFSD and relate to mechanical and corrosion behaviour.
