The LightForm Research Showcase took place on Tuesday 25 September 2018, at Cambridge University.

Our Research Team presented highlights of LightForm research to date, to an audience comprised of academics and students from Cambridge University, and the LightForm Steering Committee. 

The varied range of presentations included:

Michael Atkinson -The University of Manchester

Kai Zhang - Imperial College London

Microstructure evolution in the thermal-mechanical behaviours of Mi alloys

Dr Jinghua Zheng - Imperial College London

Investigation of fast ageing method for AA6082

Dr Alex Cassell - The University of Manchester

Recent developments in the characterisation of AL alloy microstructures by electron microscopy - microchemistry in 7xxx Al alloys the non-uniform distribution of elements

Nick Byres - The University of Manchester
