Conditions for CET in a gamma TiAl alloy
MCFADDEN, SHAUN; MOONEY, ROBIN (2015)The solidification of gamma TiAl alloys is of interest to the aerospace and automotive industries. A gamma TiAl multicomponent alloy: Ti–45.5Al–4.7Nb–0.2C–0.2B (at. %) has been the focus of a study to investigate the ... -
An experimental-numerical method for estimating heat transfer in a Bridgman furnace
MOONEY, ROBIN; MCFADDEN, SHAUN (2014)Direct measurement of heat flux and heat transfer coefficients in a Bridgman furnace is not always possible using traditional methods. This study characterised a vertical tubular Bridgman furnace using experimental data ... -
An investigation into Bridgman furnace solidification of titanium alloys
MOONEY, ROBIN; MCFADDEN, SHAUN (2013) -
Macroscale modelling of Bridgman furnace solidification for the prediction of texture evolution and columnar to equiaxed transition
MOONEY, ROBIN; ROBINSON, ANTHONY; MCFADDEN, SHAUN; BATTAGLIOLI, SARA (Institute of Physics, 2016)Bridgman furnaces are commonly used in solidification research owing to their convenience when setting the desired solidification parameters, specifically, the nominal temperature gradient and nominal growth rate. The work ... -
Microstructure and Micro Hardness of Friction Stir Welded AA2024-T3 Joints
MCFADDEN, SHAUN (2014)Macrostructure, microstructure and micro hardness of friction stir welded AA2024 - T3 joints was studied. The influence of tool pin profile on the microstructure and hardness of these joints was examined. Square, ... -
