Research

The Materials for eXtreme Environments group covers material science research into alloys to be used in high temperature conditions. These includes applications in:

Nuclear fusion, with tungsten alloys, steels and high entropy alloys (HEAs)

Generation IV nuclear fission, with zirconium alloys, steels and high entropy alloys (HEAs)

Jet engine turbine blades, with titanium bcc-superalloys

Concentrated solar power, with chromium bcc-superalloys
