- Profile
-
After obtaining an M.Eng (First) from 91Ö±²¥, Martin Jackson initially followed an aerospace materials career working for Rolls-Royce before studying for his PhD at Imperial College London – "predicting microstructural evolution during forging of Ti alloys (EPSRC/QinetiQ)".
Between 2001 and 2005 he worked as a Research Associate at Imperial on projects such as "high strain rate superplasticity in Al alloys (EPSRC)" and "the production of Ti Alloys via the FFC Cambridge process (ONR/DARPA)".
In 2005 he was awarded a Royal Academy of Engineering/EPSRC Research Fellowship and moved back to the department in 2008. Martin was appointed to Senior Lecturer in 2011, Reader in Metals Processing in 2017, Professor in 2019 and is UK representative on the World Titanium Committee.
- Research interests
-
Martin's research centres on the effect of solid state processes from upstream extraction technologies through to downstream finishing processes on microstructural evolution and mechanical properties in light alloys, and in particular titanium alloys.
A major research interest is to provide a step change in the economics of titanium-based alloys through the development of non-melt consolidation routes such as the FFC Process, FAST-Forge and continuous rotary extrusion.
Key projects:
- Novel non-melt consolidation methods for Ti powder and Ni superalloy powders
- Recycling of Ti swarf and production of low-cost wire feedstocks for additive manufacturing
- Hot forging and near net shape FAST-forging of aerospace Ti and Ni alloys and emerging automotive alloys
- Machinability of aerospace Ti alloys and Ni superalloys
- The role of surface conditioning on fatigue life, residual stress and crack initiation in Ti alloys
- Solid state modeling (DEFORM) and thermodynamical modeling (Thermo-Calc DICTRA) of titanium alloy solid state processing
Research associates:
- *Dr Ben Thomas – Simulation and characterisation of FAST process for metals
- *Dr Nick Weston – development of FAST-forge process for recycling of titanium alloys
- *Dr Jacob Pope - development of FAST-forge process for recycling of titanium alloys
- *Daniel Suarez Fernandez – high speed machining / fatigue of aerospace titanium alloys
