Materials Engineering Professors and Supervisors in United Kingdom

Funded PhD opportunity at Cranfield University in collaboration with UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) and supported by EPSRC . The project is titled Robotic Additive Manufacturing for Remote In-situ Repair of Vertical Tungsten Plasma-facing Tiles in Tokamaks and sits at the intersection of robotics , mechanical engineering , materials science , manufacturing engineering , and fusion energy . The research will investigate wire-based directed energy deposition, including arc, laser, and hybrid a...

Applications are invited for a PhD studentship at the University of Nottingham in the area of mechanical engineering and materials science . The project investigates the interface material layer created during linear friction welding (LFW) of titanium alloys , with a focus on thermo-mechanical effects, material flow, process stability, and the interaction between the part and tooling. The research will combine computational simulation with experimental investigations , including test welds and n...
