Research Area
An Investigation of Hot Forming Quench (HFQ) Process for AA6082 Aluminium Alloys
I joined the Metal Forming & Materials Modelling group in January 2007. My research mainly looks into the mechanical properties and microstructure evolution during the thermal treatments of AL-alloys, particularly the Solution Heat Treatment (SHT) of 6xxx aluminum alloys during the novel Heat, Form & Quench (HFQ) sheet metal forming operation. Age hardening sheet aluminum alloys have recently gained a large amount of interest from the automotive industry, for applications such as light weight structural components. The material must be thermally treated to obtain a high strength comparable strength to competing materials such as steel.
