| Research interests | |||||
Professor Dunlop has had a 30 year research career, carried out in close collaboration with industry, encompassing relationships between processing conditions, microstructure and properties of a wide range of materials. In the last fifteen years his work has focussed upon processing and properties of light metals. Topics covered during his career include: |
|||||
| • | Superplastic deformation of metals | ||||
| • | Phase transformations and precipitation in low alloy steels | ||||
| • | Precipitation in stabilised austenitic stainless steels | ||||
| • | High temperature creep of austenitic alloys | ||||
| • | Intergranular creep cavitation and fracture | ||||
| • | Fine scale structure and properties of high speed steels | ||||
| • | Processing and microstructure of advanced structural ceramics | ||||
| • | Processing, microstructure and properties of ZnO varistor materials | ||||
| • | Processing, microstructure and properties of GaAs-based heterostructures | ||||
| • | Improved wear resistant iron alloys | ||||
| • | Rapid solidification processing of aluminium alloys | ||||
| • | Microstructure and properties of aluminium alloys | ||||
| • | New and improved magnesium alloys | ||||
