My interest
in
welding and joining
sciences actually started about 28 years ago when I was a
research metallurgist working in the areas of steel making and ingot
pouring in an
integrated
steel mill. The intense chemical reactions in a ladle of molten steel
fascinated me.
In fusion welding, you have the same ingredients of excitement but
with at least one extra
degree of challenge - the dynamic nature of the welding
process. Reactions happen in the
molten weld pool only in a matter of seconds.
My research foci include weld-pool chemistry and physics, weld-metal
phase
transformations in ferrous alloys, welding consumables design,
underwater wet welding, explosive bonding of materials,
surface coating for wear applications, and joining of dissimilar
materials.
Examples of my current research programs include:
