Research Overview

Thermodynamics and kinetics of materials, high strain-rate powder processing, modeling of rapid solidification

Advanced Materials Processing Lab

Our research at AMPL addresses two important areas of materials processing: rapid solidification processing and severe plastic deformation processing. Specific processes investigated in our lab include the uniform-droplet spray (UDS) process, equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP), ultrasonic powder consolidation (UPC) and gas dynamic cold spray (GDCS). The UDS process is a controlled capillary laminar-jet breakup process that can generate sprays of mono-disperse alloy droplets. We use this process to study the in-flight solidification of alloy droplets and to produce particulate materials and spray deposits with novel microstructures.
