Professor Hamish L. Fraser is a leading international expert in the field of physical metallurgy and electronic microscopy. He has worked extensively on advanced electronic microtechnology and its applications, advanced metal materials processing technology, and integrated computing materials science and engineering. He was invited to participate in ZHOU HUIJIU FORUM in the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Xi’an Jiaotong University, China. Many professors and students have attended his presentation entitled ‘The role of structural instabilities on Microstructure evolution in Titanium Alloys’ on October 19th, 2017.
Certificate was awarded by Prof. Jun Sun
Professor Hamish L. Fraser used humorous language and vivid examples in his talk to explain what are the factors influencing α nucleation from β in Ti alloys? This talk discussed about three different size scales of alpha microstructure, termed refined alpha, more-refined alpha and super-refined alpha microstructures, have been characterized in the same metastable beta Ti alloy, Ti-5553. These various distributions have been produced by exploiting the influences of compositional and/or structural instabilities on the transformation, using various non-conventional transformation pathways. At the end of the lecture, there was a big discussion between the audiences and rises different questions to the presenter. The audiences participated in the discussions actively.
