Our expertise
The Advanced Metallic Systems DTC involves staff from the Departments of Materials Science and Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Sheffield and The School of Materials at The University of Manchester.
Sheffield
Sheffield has expertise in number of areas - Processing
- Semi-finished product production (e.g. rolled plate, extrusions)
- Surface engineering
Manchester
Manchester concentrates more on the following areas: - Technologies involved in manufacturing (e.g. joining, forming etc)
- In-service life (e.g. corrosion and damage accumulation).
Combined research strength
Sheffield's research philosophy is driven by through-process simulation and control, while at Manchester there is a greater emphasis on fundamental physical modelling of material interactions.
Collectively, we can provide students with hands on experience of an exceptional range of state-of-the-art research techniques. Sheffield specialises in thermo-mechanical simulation, and processing equipment whereas Manchester focuses on 3D microstructure, residual stress, damage characterisation, corrosion and surface analysis.
