My current project investigates the effect of short-range order on the Portevin Le-Chatelier effect in medium-entropy NiCoCr. As short-range ordering is observed in more and more structural alloys, their effect on plastic instabilities must be understood to enhance alloy performance. My work uses a combination of microstructural characterisation (SEM, XRD) and mechanical testing (Tensile, DIC).
