Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher studies hard, wear-resistant materials such as cemented carbides (WC-Co), ceramic coatings, and metal-based composites, focusing on how they deform, crack, and degrade under heat, stress, and corrosive conditions. The work combines mechanical testing with advanced microscopy techniques like atom probe tomography to understand material microstructure at a very fine scale. This research is relevant to improving cutting tools, industrial coatings, and other components used in demanding mechanical environments.
