AUSMURI is an investment program which encourages Australian universities to collaborate with researchers in the United States through the Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) grant program, which is administered by the US Department of Defence.
The team at UNSW around Sophie with talented early career researchers Nima, Max, Nana, Michael and others is collaborating with the University of Sydney in this program, which focusses on exploring the underlying the mechanisms of liquid/solid and solid/solid interphase instabilities during additive manufacturing of metals.
Together with Australian and US colleagues, team AUSMURI UNSW have successfully showcased their results and future research plans in two days of rigorous reviews under the scrutiny of senior engineers and scientists from US companies, organizations, the US Department of Defence Research Offices (Navy, Air Force, Army), and Australia’s Defence Science Technology Group (DSTG).
The additional funding to AUSMURI [US-Australia International Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative] will further advance our understanding of microstructure control during metal additive manufacturing.
There are some exciting fresh results in the pipeline on tuning important microstructure characteristics for property control directly during 3D printing. In the extension, team UNSW are further keen to build-up unique skills in physical and computer simulations for predicting the microstructure evolution during metal 3D printing.
