Start year: 2018

Summary: Characterisation of amorphous metal materials. This project aims to develop in-depth understanding of magnetisation mechanisms and accurate characterisation of amorphous metal materials for effectively designing advanced transformers. This project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of property understanding and modelling of advanced soft magnetic materials through extensive theoretical and experimental studies on material samples and transformer prototypes. The intended outcome is high-frequency high-power-density transformers, which are crucial in many distributed renewable energy systems. The project would significantly benefit Australian manufacturing industry at the high-end market.
