The aim of this project is to develop a theoretical model that predicts grain size when components are cast under the influence of external fields (electromagnetic, ultrasonic, pulsed electric current and melt shearing treatments) and with the addition of nano-particle master alloys. Refining microstructures by available master alloys is reaching a limit and this limits further improvement in mechanical properties to meet the challenge of new applications requiring, for example, high temperature properties or light weighting (for example, use of less material). The outcomes will be a new theoretical model, validated numerical models, new casting technologies and highly refined alloys with greater than 25 per cent improvement in mechanical properties.

该项目的目的是开发一种理论模型，用于预测在外部场（电磁、超声波、脉冲电流和熔体剪切处理）的影响下并添加纳米颗粒中间合金铸造部件时的晶粒尺寸。通过可用中间合金细化微观结构已达到极限，这限制了机械性能的进一步提高，以应对新应用的挑战，例如需要高温性能或轻量化（例如，使用更少的材料）。其成果将是新的理论模型、经过验证的数值模型、新的铸造技术和机械性能提高 25% 以上的高度精炼合金。
