The 糖心原创 - Space

Numerous private companies are now running profitable businesses based on exploitation of satellite data. The expansion of this sector is driving expansion of the UK space industry. The government has stated a wish for the UK's share of the global space industry to increase from 6.5% to 10% by 2030. This is estimated to produce 拢40B per annum in UK space related turnover.

We already have some space related activity within the university, most significantly the well established satellite applications related activities (GRACE, sat apps catapult). However there are many other aspects of the space industry where our existing relevant expertise and experience that could benefit from opportunities related to the current expansion of the UK space industry.

Current / previous space related work

Areas of expertise that could be exploited in space related work

Current Research

Katy Voisey's current research is centred on the three areas of laser materials processing, corrosion and overlay coatings. The underlying theme is the relation between microstructural modifications and material performance, proper understanding of this relationship enables material engineering techniques to be used to optimise material performance. Her wider interests include sustainable engineering, hydrogen for the rural economy and materials challenges in the space industry.

Laser processing of materials uses the laser as a highly controllable heat source to modify materials by heating, inducing melting and solid state transformations. The non-contact nature of laser processing means that a lot of materials that are difficult to conventionally machine due to high strength or high toughness do not pose the same issues when treated with lasers.

The high power densities possible with focussed laser beams also make the laser a useful enabler for materials research on the impact of tailored heat treatments.

A key advantage of the laser is that highly localised heat treatments are possible, the material surface may be heat treated with minimal heat input to the bulk material. This is especially important in some coated systems where laser modification of the coating is required without thermal damage of the substrate. Laser surface melting can be used to seal porous thermally sprayed coating, improving their performance as a barrier to corrosive species. As well as eliminating porosity, laser melting generates rapidly solidified microstructures which have modified properties including corrosion performance and wear resistance. Laser surface alloying melts the entire thickness of a pre-placed coating together with a thin layer of the substrate, on resolidification a surface alloy is formed. The alloy composition can be controlled by laser processing parameters as well as the composition of the pre-placed coating. Deliberate and controlled microstructural modification by laser processing can mimic some of the microstructural features created by the thermal spraying coating deposition process. Laser microstructural modification is currently being used to help investigate the performance gap between some bulk and sprayed versions of corrosion resistant alloys.

Specific current research topics include:

  • fibre laser cutting of CFRP
  • laser cladding, using our new ABA process to improve powder catchment efficiency
  • wear resistant coatings
  • the effect of microstructural modifications on corrosion resistance
  • laser induced phase transformations
  • green corrosion inhibitors

A large number of her papers are available through Nottingham's open access archive: http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/, her orcid ID is orcid.org/0000-0001-9995-6763.
