PENULTIMATE Year Students: ANSTO Scholarship
The School of Materials Science and Engineering is collaborating with ANSTO to offer scholarships for students who will perform an 18 UoC final year research project in 2019. (Formally MATS4009, in T3 world called MATS4100).
Students will be expected to undertake a ~ 12-week placement at ANSTO over the summer break and then continue on the same project throughout the 2019 academic year as part of their study towards MATS4100. Stude...nts undertaking such projects will be eligible for a $6,000 scholarship from ANSTO. (nb results acquired during the industrial placement cannot be directly used to attract credit for their final submitted thesis.)
5 project in collaboration with ANSTO are on offer:
a) Effect of Cold Rolling on the Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Alloy 690. UNSW Supervisor: Dr Sophie Primig b) Molten Salt Corrosion (FLiNaK) of Ni-Mo-Cr Alloy Welds for Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) Systems. UNSW Supervisor Dr Sophie Primig c) Assessment of the Radiation Damage of Graphite for Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) Systems. UNSW Supervisor: Prof Paul Munroe d) Prediction of Creep and Creep-Fatigue Failure of Alloy 617 using Analytical and Finite Element Models. UNSW Supervisor: A/Prof John Daniels e) Effects of W and aging heat treatment on microstructure and creep resistance of a Ti48Al2Cr2Nb alloy. UNSW Supervisor: Dr Sophie Primig
To find out more about the projects, please email Michelle Freney (m.freney@unsw.edu.au) for a copy of the project descriptions.
HOW TO APPLY: You can apply for one project by sending your CV (including academic current transcript) and a brief (1/2 page max.) expression of interest to Laura McNally (laura.mcnally@unsw.edu.au) by 7th September.

Celebrating NAIDOC Week
Yesterday, 11th July, year 10-12 Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students participating in the Nura Gili Winter School visited the School of Materials Science and Engineering.
These students went on a tour around the Hilmer building, visiting laboratories and learnt about different types of research that are being conducted within the school.
... Our student ambassadors then showed them how Materials Science and Engineering is integrated into our everyday lives, especially in making instant ice cream using liquid nitrogen!
