Research Interest

The focus of our group is to develop the high performance alloys and surface technologies for applications in areas of transportation vehicles, 3C products and functional coatings. Our effort is to create a science and technology base in quantitative relations among the material processing, microstructural parameters, macroscopic mechanical response and/or functional properties of various advanced engineering alloys. Currently, we are conducting experimental work to study the strengthening mechanisms, deformation and fatigue behaviors of high-strength aluminum alloys. Various advanced coating techniques, including atomic layer deposition, magnetron sputtering and micro arc oxidation, are used to improve the wear and corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys. We are also investigating the Fe-based shape memory alloys, high-capacity hydrogen storage alloys and the delay fracture of advanced ultra-high-strength martensitic steels.
