Ph. D., Cambridge University, Dec. 1987
The research aims in this group focus on the exploration and characterization of atomic/nano/micro/macro-structure in newly advanced steels and thin-films for energy-saving structural/functional materials application. Transmission electron microscope techniques, particularly in high-resolution imaging, are routinely used by the research group, as well as scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, dilatometry and mechanical testing. Work has been carried out in collaboration with a wide range of other universities and companies, especially with China Steel Corporation (CSC, Taiwan) and Companhia Brasileira de Metalurgia e Mineracão (CBMM, Brazil) on the basis of the foundation for Advanced Steel Microstructural Control Engineering Research Center (ASMC-ERC). Several case studies are shown below.
