Research & Development
Our lab develops and investigates advanced materials for diverse applications, including biomedical devices, space technologies, and extreme environments. We offer expertise in materials selection, quality control, and failure analysis, supporting industrial, medical, and defense sectors.
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.
