Based in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Sheffield, UK, Sheffield Titanium Alloy Research (STAR) is a group of academic staff and students studying the thermomechanical processing of titanium alloys and speciality steels.

We have strong industrial links to the aerospace industry, conducting many projects in conventional and high-value processing with companies such as Rolls-Royce, Boeing, TIMET and SAFRAN Landing Systems. Recent developments in the field of low-cost powder metallurgy has driven research projects into novel production techniques such as Continuous Rotary Extrusion (CRE) and Field Assisted Sintering Technology (FAST).
