Our work
The group works on all aspects of alloy developement and characterisation, providing insight into structural-property relations and tackling challenges faced by key industrial sectors.
The Group takes it name from the ancient practice of Alchemy. Alchemists where the first chemists working to turn metals into materials with more valuable properties, specifically base-metals into gold. As Modern Alchemists - we work to create new alloys with superior material properties for important industrial applications.
Guided Alloy Design
Using computational methods to design new alloys for a host of purposes
Additive Manufacture
New materials for additive manufacture
Materials for Atomic Energy Applications
Novel alloys, including High Entropy Alloys, for radiation damage tolerant atomic energy applications.
Advanced Characterisation
Development of advanced scattering and characterisation methods
