Research impacts

Atrens has made significant contributions to the understanding of the service performance of engineering materials. This includes:

  • Related electrochemical hydrogen charging to equivalent hydrogen fugacity.
  • Demonstrated that there is little risk in auto service of HE for the advanced high-strength steels currently used in automobile light-weighting,
  • Elucidated corrosion mechanisms of magnesium alloys, stainless steels and copper alloys,
  • Developed a model for the patination of copper, and a procedure for an artificial patination process,
  • Developed an improved understanding of passivity in stainless steels and binary alloys such as Fe-Cr, Ni-Cr, Co-Cr, Fe-Ti, and Fe-Si.
  • Characterised the corrosion reactions, types of corrosion and the corrosion morphologies for Mg alloys and related these to alloy chemistry, metallurgy and microstructure.
  • Help to provide an understanding of the biocorrosion of Mg.
  • Produced a comprehensive explanation of the strange electrochemical behaviour of the negative difference effect, which underlies the corrosion behaviour of magnesium and its alloys.

Available projects

  • Thesis Project

    The aim is to provide an overview and summary of the state of art and description of key technical challenges, drivers and trends emerging in the technology/sector.

    The total topic is huge so it is necessary to target one part. A possible approach is to look at a particular number of sectors. Sectors can be defined in a number of ways.

    1. Focus on the manufacturing process: Casting, Shaping and forming, machining, Fabrication, Fabrication of microelectronic devices and micromanufacturing, Joining, Surface Technology, Composites, Ceramics, Wood, Concrete
    1. Focus on the industry or industry sector: Aerospace, auto, microelectronic or consumer electronics, consumer goods etc.

    A number of these sectors need to be chosen and analysed. For each sector an overview/summary is to be provided together with the references of where the information was obtained.

  • Gas Phase Inhibition of Hydrogen Embrittlement

    We aim to understand the kinetics of the inhibition of hydrogen embrittlement in hydrogen gas environments by added gases such as oxygen.

    We are building a gas phase permeabilty apparatus capable of operating at 200 C and 200 bar hydrogen
