Abstract
Reducing material consumption, increasing the useful service life, and promoting recycling are critical components of creating a sustainable future. Corrosion reduces the useful life of engineering components, necessitating the production of more materials. Additionally, corrosion-resistant metallic materials are often heavier, resulting in higher carbon footprints. As a result, the need to develop lightweight, high-strength, and corrosion-resistant materials is steadily increasing. The properties of engineering alloys are often limited by conventional compositions and manufacturing technologies. The speaker’s recent work has demonstrated the development of alloys with properties that exceed traditional limits, achieved through precise control of microstructure and composition. Specific examples of high-energy ball-milled alloys and additively manufactured alloys will be presented, showing how high corrosion resistance can be achieved through the design of unique microstructures.
Biography
Rajeev Gupta is an associate professor of materials science and engineering at North Carolina State University. He received his B.S. in materials and metallurgical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India and Ph.D. in materials engineering from Monash University, Australia. Prior to joining the NC State University faculty, he was an assistant professor of chemical, biomolecular and corrosion engineering at the University of Akron, Ohio. He is an associate editor of the Journal of the Electrochemical Society. Rajeev has authored over 130 publications and holds two patents. His primary research interests lie in the broad areas of corrosion and material engineering. His research group focuses on understanding the structure-processing-property-performance relationships in metallic materials, corrosion initiation and propagation mechanisms, and high-temperature corrosion using state-of-the-art material characterization and electrochemical techniques. The fundamental research is intended to be applied in developing new materials, corrosion characterization techniques, material processing technologies, and life prediction models.
