Prof A.L. Greer (University of Cambridge), external examiner (in his report): This research project has dealt with the solidification of hypereutectic Al-Si alloys, a topic of continuing practical importance. The candidate gives adequate reviews of the theory of crystal nucleation in melts and of prior work on hypereutectic Al-Si alloys. The experimental work has involved casting, heat treatment, X-ray diffraction, metallography, differential ...
