About Us

Sheffield Titanium Alloy Research (STAR) is a group of academic staff and students studying alloy development, thermomechanical processing, and machining science of several alloy systems with a focus on titanium.

We have strong industrial links with several industries, including aerospace, automotive, and cutting tools. Many successful collaborative research projects have been done with companies such as Rolls-Royce, Boeing, Sandvik Coromant, TIMET and SAFRAN Landing Systems

Our researchers regularly publish novel research in high-quality journals and present at major international conferences.
