The project underpins the potential niche applications of ultrafine grained titanium for biomedical implants and establishes a knowledge base for expanding Australia's capacity for manufacturing titanium parts. The novel technology will lead to a broader usage of titanium by biomedical industry and promote the development of the titanium manufacturing industry in Australia. The development of ultrafine grained titanium specifically designed for bio-implants will increase Australia's competitiveness in the global market. The project targets at least three of the priority goals specified under National Research Priority breakthrough science, frontier technologies and advanced materials.Read moreRead less
Rapid process development for the assembly of lightweight metal components. This project aims to develop a new quality monitoring system and inverse method for identifying parameters of welding structures for automotive applications. The outcomes may assist automotive industries in improving process quality management and product performance of weld structures.
