Novel materials and processes via rapidly exploring options
The RDF team is focussed on discovering new materials and processes through the development of computational models, combinatorial materials discovery and innovative processing tools. Our team has three key areas, materials modelling, nanotechnology and metals and process design, which integrate in our applications. The focus of each is:
E-beam, laser, and cold spray additive manufacturing, focussing on in-situ monitoring, design, novel use, and data analysis.
Corrosion inhibitors, microbially induced corrosion, biocompatibility and multifunctional coatings, and corrosion and environmentally assisted cracking of implants.
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD), modelling of laser additive manufacturing, and modelling of corrosion and inhibition processes.
Our members are expert researchers in their field.
