Additive Manufacturing
High-functional Alloy Design for AM & Processing Optimization
We investigate the multiscale defects and their roles on mechanical properties for alloys fabricated by additive manufacturings, Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) and Directed Energy Deposition (DED).
The revealed correlations enables us to design new alloys adequate for additive manufacturings, to control the mechanical properties, and to provide key mechanisms in order to optimize the processing conditions.
Thin-film Coating
High-functional Alloy Design for Thin-film Coating Targets/Powders/Wires
We investigate the tribology and corrosion behaviors of load-bearing products coated by our novel alloys.
For tribology, we utilize the physical vapor deposition (PVD) for ~10um thickness coatings, and we develop alloys used for coating targets. For corrosion protection, we utilize thermal spraying for ~100um thickness coatings, and we develop alloys as powder and wire forms. The alloy should exhibit excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, low friction coefficient, and self-lubrication.
