Research Focus

The research focuses on the fabrication and characterization of advanced materials for various applications, with a particular emphasis on additive manufacturing techniques such as selective laser melting (SLM). The studies explore the microstructure, mechanical, and tribological properties of different alloys and composites. Key areas of interest include the production parameters, post-processing treatments, and coating techniques for enhancing structural and tribological performance. The materials investigated range from silver-coated copper matrix composites to medical Ti6Al4V alloy and surface-enhanced copper-based materials. The research also delves into the effects of build orientation and hatch spacing on the high-speed milling behavior of L-PBF 316L stainless steel. The findings contribute to the understanding of material behavior under different processing conditions, offering valuable insights for optimizing manufacturing processes and improving the properties of engineering materials.
