Researchers from the Department of Materials Engineering have received four international awards for their research papers about light metals and steel.
Dr Mark Easton, a Research Fellow in the Cooperative Research Centre for Cast Metals, shared the Henry Marion Howe Medal with other Australian researchers for the winning paper 'Grain refinement of magnesium alloys'.
The medal recognises authors of the best paper in a specific volume of Metallurgical and Materials Transactions.
Monash researchers Dr Christopher Hutchinson and Dr Jian-Feng Nie shared the Marcus A Grossmann Young Author Award for their paper, 'Modelling the precipitation processes and strengthening mechanisms in a Mg-Al-(Zn) AZ91 alloy'.
The honours were announced at the American Society of Metals International Awards on 17 October in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Dr Hutchinson also received two further awards for his research paper, 'Analysis of the effect of Mn on the recrystallization kinetics of High Nb Steel: an example of physically-based alloy design'. He was awarded the 2005 Sawamura Award for the best article in the Journal of the Iron and Steel Institute of Japan, and the 2005 Guimaraes Award for the best article published in the journal on Nb-Steel.
