Overview
This workshop will introduce quenching dilatometry for experimental work and data analysis in alloys. The content will explore the use of dilatometry to assess phase transformations in ferritic steels and other alloys, and the transformations seen during simulation of welding and additive manufacturing. The dilatometry capabilities at Royce will also be covered, and routes to access the facilities will be explained.
This event will help develop knowledge of effective dilatometry experiments and established best practice in the field. It is also an opportunity to foster a user community, share, network with fellow researchers, and enable better knowledge sharing in future.
Format: In-person
Cost: £25
Audience
Any researcher, research technical professional or industrialist looking to perform dilatometry analyses on alloys, especially those who are new to the techniques (e.g., new PhD students). However, anyone at any stage of their career is welcome and they are likely to learn something (unless they’ve done it before extensively).
Aims
- Provide an introduction to quenching dilatometry, including the capability available at Royce.
- Illustrate, using case studies, how dilatometry can be used to assess phase transformations in alloys (especially ferritic steels, but not limited to these).
- Inform users of possibly artefacts and tips regarding troubleshooting.
- Build a user community and promote networking between users from across the UK.
Learning outcomes
- A fundamental understanding of what dilatometry is and what it can be used for.
- Awareness of capability available at Royce and how facilities can be accessed
- Knowledge of artefacts and troubleshooting approaches.
- How dilatometry is used in both an academia and industrial settings.
- Awareness of where to find further information and tools for data analysis.
