- First ever study which captures the formation of various graphite nodule morphologies during solidification in cast irons in full 4D (3D + time). The results of this investigation contributed to winning a £690k grant (Optimised high performance ductile cast iron using 4D X-ray analysis and microstructural modelling, 8022-00085B) from the Danish Council for Independent Research. The experimental and modelling data obtained as part of this investigation is being currently used for improving large nodular casting processes used by Siemens (Karl.Pedersen@siemensgamesa.com), Vestas (ast@vestas.com) and MAN Energy (nielsw.rasmussen@man-es.com) for Wind energy and maritime applications.
