This EngD project, sponsored by Boeing, offers a unique opportunity to advance productivity in manufacturing through the development of automation and autonomy in computer-aided process planning. Manufacturing process planning involves numerous inter-related decisions, often managed manually and varying significantly between manufacturers. The project aims to streamline these processes by integrating multiple manufacturing data sources, enabling more efficient decision-making and reducing repeti...

The Brunel Centre for Advanced Solidification Technology (BCAST) at Brunel University of London is offering a fully funded PhD studentship focused on minimising dross formation during the melting of scrap aluminium. This project is conducted in collaboration with Constellium, a global leader in advanced aluminium products, and forms part of the Constellium University Technology Centre (UTC) activities. The research aims to address a significant challenge in the aluminium recycling industry: dros...

Advanced aluminium alloys are essential for structural components in aerospace and automotive industries. With rising global demand, the use of secondary metals and recycled aluminium is necessary, but introduces impurities such as iron, copper, and nickel, which can negatively impact corrosion resistance. This project addresses the urgent need to improve the corrosion performance of high strength aluminium alloys, especially those formulated from end-of-life recycled aluminium, aiming to reduce...

This fully funded PhD project at the University of Southampton offers an exciting opportunity to accelerate the discovery and characterisation of additively manufactured Type 316 stainless steel and its advanced variants. Supervised by Professor Bo Chen and Dr Andrew Hamilton, the research aims to revolutionise bulk alloy discovery for additive manufacturing by integrating smart design, 3D printing of material libraries, and AI-assisted workflows. The project addresses a critical challenge in Ma...

This EPSRC Industrial Doctoral Landscape Awards (IDLA) PhD studentship at The University of Manchester offers a unique opportunity to research the optimisation of thermomechanical ageing processing in high strength 6xxx aluminium alloys, with a particular focus on the influence of quenching and pre-ageing steps. The project is conducted in collaboration with Constellium, a leading industrial partner, and is based in the Department of Materials. As the automotive industry moves towards lightweigh...
