Materials Characterisation and Processing Group
The group has secured funding through the EU Marie Curie Research Training Networks (MCRTN) initiative. This 4-year, €2.0 million project which began in Jan. 2004 focuses on Bulk Metallic Glass (BMG) Composites and is being coordinated by Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble and involves ten other European participants as outlined below.
WIT’s primary responsibility within this MCRTN is mechanical characterisation of BMG Composites at both room and elevated temperature.
