Xiaoyuan Lou's research focuses on metal additive manufacturing (3D printing with metal powders) and how processing conditions affect the microstructure and mechanical performance of steels used in nuclear and high-temperature applications, particularly stainless steels like 316L and 316H. Work includes studying creep behavior (slow deformation under stress at high temperature), joining dissimilar metals, defect characterization, and using computational and machine-learning tools to link manufacturing parameters to material properties. This research is relevant to students interested in structural materials for nuclear reactors, additive manufacturing process optimization, and materials characterization techniques.
