During this PhD, the student will combine experimental and modelling approaches to better understand deformation-induced phase transformations in titanium. The PhD student will conduct hot compression tests on commercially pure titanium, chosen as a model material to study the fundamental mechanisms in a simplified system.



These experiments will be designed to trigger dynamic phase transformations under controlled conditions. The resulting microstructures will be carefully characterised using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electron backscatter diffract...
