TechConnect Global Innovation Awards at the TechConnect World Innovation Conference & Expo (TCWI) 2018
The University of Hong Kong (HKU) has won two TechConnect Global Innovation Awards at the TechConnect World Innovation Conference & Expo (TCWI) 2018 to be held in the United States in May.
The two award winning innovations are “Omniphobic porous membrane and methods for preparing the same” and “Super Steel – A method for the fabrication of a super-strong and ductile multi-phase steel”, both by the HKU Department of Mechanical Engineering.
Super Steel – A method for the fabrication of a super-strong and ductile multi-phase steel
This Super Steel developed by Dr HUANG Mingxin (left) and Dr HE Binbin (right) at the Department of Mechanical Engineering achieves an unprecedented yield strength of 2.2 GPa and uniform elongation of 16%. It can be produced using conventional industrial processing routes, including warm rolling, cold rolling and annealing. Raw materials cost is only 20% of the maraging steel used in aerospace and defence applications.
