  Institute for Frontier Materials, Deakin University

  Nov 2017 - Jul 2018

  Master Thesis Project

  Title: Investigating forming limits of an extruded aluminium sheet alloy for sheet forming application.* Reviewed literature on Aluminium alloys and the effects of heat treatment. * Designed and performed a multi-stage heat treatment cycle followed by tensile testing (Instron load frame) in combination with DIC strain measurement (ARAMIS) to evaluate the strength of the aluminium alloy.* Achieved 26.2% higher ultimate tensile stress, 21.7% higher yield stress and 65.2% higher uniform elongation in the Al 6111 alloy after the combined addition of Scandium and Zirconium. * Presented the project with the aid of a technical poster to the industrial and academic representatives in the university project exhibition.
