University event offered by University of Sheffield
Short Session Delivered online
Did you know that at any moment, around half a million people are flying through the air? The engines powering modern aircraft are incredible feats of engineering, built from materials that withstand extreme conditions over hundreds of flights. But how do these materials work and how can we make them even better? As material scientists, our role is to understand how these materials work and how to improve the materials so they are optimised for specific applications. In this session we will explore what Materials Science is, using the example of the turbine engine, finding out how it works, the materials properties required, the alloy design, and how structure all the way down to the atomic scale helps us control the materials properties.Come along to our Taster Session and discover how Materials Science is shaping the future of aerospace and beyond!
