Johan Ewald Westraadt

This researcher studies the microstructure and properties of metals and alloys, particularly steels and titanium alloys used in demanding environments like power plant turbines and aerospace components. Much of the work uses advanced electron microscopy to understand how materials degrade over time (creep, hydrogen exposure, corrosion) and how processing conditions affect mechanical performance. The research combines experimental characterization with some computational alloy design.

Publication output has been fairly steady over the last decade, with modest year-to-year fluctuations and a slight peak around 2023, averaging about 3 papers per year over the last 5 years.
