Scientific activity at CMAM through the ReMade project

The European ReMade project (https://remade-project.eu/) at CMAM recently assisted Dr. Muhammad Naeem (University of Birmingham) and Dr. Liliana Romero Resendiz (Bournemouth University) at the Implantation Beam Line in executing his approved proposal, titled Boron-Modified High-Entropy Superalloys: Tailoring Microstructure and Mechanical Behavior for Extreme Environment Applications.

This proposal addresses a significant challenge in high-entropy superalloys: the weakening of grain boundaries. By introducing boron as a microstructural modifier, the proposal aims to resolve this issue. At CMAM, we conducted radiation exposure tests to assess the effects of radiation on microstructural stability and identify potential radiation damage.

The results of this investigation could improve our understanding of factors such as recyclability, critical material substitution, and the lifecycle impacts of this new alloy composition.
