The programme, integrated by experts in physical simulation, solidification and casting, physical metallurgy, solid state processing and computational materials engineering, aims to explore the processing-structure-property relationships in metallic alloys, with special emphasis on the role of microstructure on the mechanical response at all length scales. This interdisciplinary pool of researchers is formed by physicists, chemists, and engineers (materials, mechanical and aeronautical) carrying out fundamental research and also working in close collaboration with companies in the transport, aerospace, energy and biomedical sectors. Research facilities include state-of-the-art equipment for processing at a lab scale (casting, wrought processing, Gleeble technology, atomization), microstructural characterisation (electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, nanotomography) and mechanical property testing at a wide range of temperatures and strain rates.
