Overview

We offer a In-situ Wire Direct Energy Deposition Process Development Of High-performance Bimetallic Alloys For Advanced Aerospace Application at Cranfield University.

Features

We are looking for a motivated candidate to pursue a Ph.D. based on a project entitled “In-situ wire-direct energy deposition (WDED) process development of high-performance bimetallic alloys for advanced aerospace application” This opportunity arises in the field of WDED additive manufacturing, and the project aims to develop a novel process to in-situ manufacture high-quality bimetallic structures with varying geometries using WDED technique.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Compared to conventional manufacturing methods like casting and forging, the wire-based DED process offers several benefits, including reduced lead times, carbon footprint, tooling costs and material wastage, but greater design flexibility.

It is attracting significant attention in industry and academia due to its ability in large-scale components production and suitability for many metal materials (e.g. steel, Ti, Al, Ni alloys).

However, the application of this technique in manufacturing bimetallic components is comparatively less developed.
