Research
Our lab is developing and studying advanced materials for a variety of applications, including biomedical, space, and harsh environments. It provides materials selection, quality control and failure analysis services to industrial, medical and defense organizations.
Lab interests include:
-
Additive manufacturing (3D-printing).
-
Materials for space applications.
-
Electrodeposition and electroless plating of special alloys (e.g. rhenium-based for high-temperature applications and catalysis).
-
Calcium phosphate coatings for dental implants.
-
Corrosion and hydrogen interaction with materials.
-
Failure analysis.
-
Ferrography & Bio-Ferrography.

Directed Energy Deposition of Al 5xxx Alloy using Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS®)
Directed energy deposition of wrought-like Al 5xxx alloy by Laser Engineered Net Shaping is demonstrated for the first time. A transition in chemistry from an Al 5083 powder to one closer to Al 5754 in the as-deposited material is observed. A relative density as high as 99.26% is measured. The measured mechanical properties meet the requirements of international standards for wrought Al 5754-O. Various mechanisms may contribute to porosity formation in the deposited Al 5754, gas-related porosity being the major one.
