| Abstract Scope |
Lightweight automotive design is becoming increasingly important in the developing sector of electric vehicles. The fabrication of an in-situ TiB2 composite can be successfully followed using vacuum induction melting followed by thermo-mechanical processing (TMP). An alternative method is to use field-assisted sintering technology (FAST) as a comparable approach without the TMP element. Steel matrix composites with TiB2 have proven to illustrate advancements in properties such as Young's modulus, stiffness and strength at lower densities. This project aims to incorporate TiB2 in a microalloyed medium-carbon steel using a parallel processing route, with key comparisons to be made between the two routes in order to understand which is more feasible for large scale production of automotive components. This project is in collaboration with industrial sponsor 'Volkswagen Group' and funded by EPSRC and SFI UK.
