About us

Our group aims at discovering new science and understanding in metal forming processes including additive manufacturing, sheet metal forming, cross wedge rolling, etc., widely applied in automotive, aerospace and high-speed trains. We are interested in developing new cost efficient metal forming techniques involving various metals such as Ti, Al, Mg and nickel alloys.
