Additional information

Reported a method to convert a commercial pearlitic steel wire into nanostructure steel using electropulsing at ambient temperature and pressure. The method requires negligible energy but can make the steel stronger, tougher and with higher electrical conductivity instantly. The original funder, POSCO, has renewed the project due to this achievement. DSTL funded £121,787 on a studentship to further explore its application in defence steel fabrication (contact:Dr. Alexander Cook, accook@mail.dstl.gov.uk, tel:01980658939) TATA steel has initiated a collaboration on fabrication of super-strong steel wire using the method and have provided a CASE and £92K (contact:Dr. Arunansu Haldar, tel:07768031652).
