Centre for Precision Manufacturing
About us
The Centre for Precision Manufacturing research falls into 3 main themes锘�
- Precision-Forming and Micro-Manufacturing锘�
- Precision Engineering
- Light Metals Advanced Technology锘�
Precision-Forming and Micro-Manufacturing
Led by Prof. Yi Qin, concerns three areas of Materials Forming and Micro-Manufacturing:
- Forming processes development (cold, warming and hot forming)
- Developing tool designs and tooling techniques
- Developing bench-top manufacturing machines and systems
Precision Engineering
Led by Prof. Xichun Luo, develops processes for
- Freeform ultra precision diamond turning, diamond grinding and diamond milling
- Non-ferrous metal, crystal brittle materials such as CaF2, Si and SiC for aerospace, defence, high power electric and quantum computing applications锘�
Light Metals Advanced Technology
Led by Dr. Andrzej Rosochowski, is focused on
- Novel technology for producing ultrafine grained lightweight metals (aluminium, magnesium, titanium) through Grain Refinement in Metals by Severe Plastic Deformation.
