- This EPSRC-funded research presents a novel ultrasound-based liquid metal processing technique that is suitable for intermetallic phase refinement and control in metal alloys and metal-based composites. The refinement process is applicable to a wide range of alloy systems, regardless of alloy chemistry, and because it does not require the addition of specific chemical refinement agents, is an environmentally-friendly, sustainable and processing-efficient technique. The research helped to secure a further £1.2M of EPSRC funding (EP/R011044/1, EP/R011001/1, EP/R011095/1) to scale-up the process for industrial application.
