Brian Welk

Brian Welk's work focuses on metal additive manufacturing, particularly 3D printing of nickel-based superalloys and titanium alloys using powder bed fusion techniques. His research examines how printing conditions and part geometry affect the internal microstructure of these materials, as well as problems like cracking that can occur during the manufacturing process. This work is relevant to producing high-performance metal components for demanding applications, such as those exposed to high temperatures.

Publication output has been modest and fairly steady over the past decade, with roughly 1-2 papers per year in recent years and no strong upward or downward trend.
