 Advanced Manufacturing Processes 

Machining and Condition Monitoring (MCM) Team has a good capability on advanced manufacturing technology such as conventional machining, waterjet milling/cutting, pulsed laser ablation, ultrasonic polishing, as well as in depth materials properties characterisation (SEM, XRD, EBSD, TEM, Raman Spectroscopy, Micromechanics test) after machining.

The relevant materials are such as Superalloys, Composites, Biomaterials, Thermal Barrier Coatings etc. Innovative monitoring of manufacturing processes using a wide range of sensing solutions (force cells, accelerometers, acoustic emission, laser, strain gauges, PVDF, high speed imaging systems, etc) have also been developed.
