- The work that was supported by the Marie Curie International Incoming Fellowship scheme under FP7 (Grant number PIIF-GA-2010-274324) demonstrated a 97% increase in the fatigue resistance of aluminium 2014 alloy by application of a 1.2 kA electropulse of a 0.1 second duration. This has led to a new study supported by C4 Carbides, via KTP funding, to research the use of the process to improve fatigue resistance of EN8 steel, the substrate metal for their bandsaws. Another highlight of the published work is the derivation of a “magnetic field” model to explain the resulting precipitation and dislocation movement
