Significant current research effort is being expended in the area of intermetallic reactions in order to try and harness the energy released in these reactions for a wide variety of applications. This talk will focus on a number of research projects that have been completed at the Fracture and Shock Physics Group at the Cavendish into these materials, with a focus on nickel-aluminium and aluminium-tungsten mixtures. Experiments were conducted to examine both the reactivity of these materials as well as a range of mechanical behaviour in the unreacted state.

This talk is part of the Engineering - Mechanics and Materials Seminar Series series.
