In the quality improvement of additively manufactured (AM) metal components with 3D complex shape, it is necessary to establish a fundamental theory of the alloying design and process optimization to control microstructures and crystal orientation through understanding additively manufacturing mechanism based on a rapid solidification of metal powder and thermal cycle effects. This department focuses on research projects regarding the formation mechanism of ultrafine microstructures and supersaturated solid solution by rapid solidification process and mechanical behavior in multiscale analysis of selective laser melted (SLMed) materials.
Current Research Subjects
- Formation mechanism of unique microstructures and orientations of SLMed titanium alloys
- High-strengthen metal matrix composites fabricated by SLM process
- High strengthening mechanism of titanium alloys by bulk alloying in SLM process
- Deformation behavior of Gyroid scaffolds SLMed alloys and impact energy absorption performance
