Abstract: Guided by the national and global plans and strategies for manufacturing updates and CO2 neutralization, advanced manufacturing for metals and alloys with stabler service life is more and more important in industrial sectors (e.g., aerospace applications). However, because of metals’ unique microscopic features, successful advanced manufacturing for metals still faces great challenges, and the strength tradeoff with anti-degradation stability is not solved for various applications, particularly under extreme conditions.

In this talk, we will combine novel metal and nanomaterial’s design with tailored advanced manufacturing techniques to solve the abovementioned problems. First, we will demonstrate how to use metal and nanomaterial’s design to achieve application-oriented advanced (nano-)manufacturing via a physics-guided approach. Second, we will include electron behavior in the framework of the “processing-structure-property” relationship in these advanced manufactured (AMed) metals and nanomaterials. Importantly, we will demonstrate the strategies to retain chemical stability (under high-temp. and corrosive environments) and degradation resistance (for oxidation, wear, and corrosion), etc. while strengthening AMed metals and nanomaterials. Finally, inspired by industrial needs, we will extend the applications of the AMed metal nanomaterials with supreme property synergy and discuss our successful cases in the emerging fields of aerospace, energy storage, etc. As a conclusion mark, a short vision and prospect will be provided.

Bio:

Dr. Shuaihang Pan received his Ph.D. degree (2021) in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California-Los Angeles and a B.S. degree (2016) from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, respectively. His research mainly focuses on advanced (nano-)manufacturing technique updates and omni-spectrum performance design (particularly anti-degradation optimization) for metallic systems.

Currently, he has published over 50 peer-reviewed papers in top journals for manufacturing and materials science, 4 invited reviews, and 2 patents, with >500 citations. His conference talks at WTC (2017), NAMRC (2019), and TMS (2020 and 2022) also attract more and more attention to his research. With these achievements, he received the 2019 Best Review Paper Award of Journal Friction and the 2019 NSF Travel Grant Award. Dr. Pan is now serving as the Guest Editor for Coatings (2021-2022) and the Editorial Board member for Surface Technology (2021-) and Tungsten (2022-). He is also the reviewer for journals including JMS&T, APL, Mater. Char., JAP, etc. and the invited reviewer for Elsevier book proposal (2021). With over 7 years of research experience, he is actively collaborating with professors, scholars, and engineers around the world for more exciting research exploration in advanced manufacturing and novel materials design.
