CAMS2021 Seminar Series
10 December 2021 | 10am AEDT
'Multiscale Characterization of Metallic Alloy Solidification Dynamics' by Amy J. Clarke
CAMS2021 is part of an ongoing series of meetings that are the product of the cooperation between two eminent materials professional societies in Australia – Materials Australia (MA) and the Australian Ceramic Society (ACS).
This year the 7th conference of the Combined Australian Materials Societies (CAMS2021) was to be hosted in Melbourne, Australia in December. However, the present situation in Australia has forced the organising committee to postpone this event to 02-04 February 2022.
In place, the organising committee offers everyone the opportunity to attend a seminar series where prominent international researchers will present their latest research results to the Australian material research communities.
This seminar series will take place over several weeks between October and December and will be a live, online-only (zoom) event , featuring invited lectures from international researchers, and it will not be recorded.

Speaker Details
Amy J. Clarke is a Professor, Co-Director of the Center for Advanced Non-Ferrous Structural Alloys - a National Science Foundation Industry/University Cooperative Research Center, and a faculty member with the Advanced Steel Processing and Products Research Center in the George S. Ansell Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines (Mines). She holds joint appointments with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in the Nuclear Sciences Division and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in the Materials Science and Technology Division and is a Guest Scientist in Sigma Division at LANL. She received her MS and PhD degrees from Mines and her BS degree at Michigan Technological University in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering. Her research focuses on physical metallurgy and making, measuring, and modeling metallic alloys during processing to realize advanced manufacturing. Amy serves on The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) Foundation Board of Trustees, has served on the TMS and Association for Iron & Steel Technology Boards of Directors, and is an Editor for Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A. She is a recipient of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers – the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. government on outstanding scientists and engineers in the early stages of their independent research careers, an Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Program, and U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science Early Career Research Program, is a TMS Brimacombe Medalist, and a Fellow of ASM International.
Abstract
The solidification of metallic alloys is spatially and temporally multiscale. Although combinations of thermal gradient and solid/liquid interface velocity are known to dictate microstructure (and defect) development, significant opportunity exists to study multiscale solidification dynamics during processing with novel tools and unique probes available in the laboratory and at national user facilities. Here the use of x-rays, protons, neutrons, and electrons is highlighted for the multiscale characterization of metallic alloy solidification dynamics relevant to casting, directional solidification, and additive manufacturing. Multiscale in-situ/ex-situ characterization is compared to process modeling and solidification theory and modeling. The new knowledge gained is aiding in the prediction and control of metallic alloy solidification dynamics by advanced manufacturing.
After introducing the basics of FFF, the seminar will discuss the opportunities created by the uptake of new composite feedstocks, as well as the technological challenges observed upon printing due to the presence of a filler.
