Welcome to the
Leijun Li group in Department
of Chemical and Materials Engineering at the University
of Alberta! Our group conducts award-winning research in physical
metallurgy, welding metallurgy, and additive manufacturing of alloys.
Latest Award: We received the 2025 Warren F. Savage Memorial
Award from the American Welding Society! This award recognizes "the
greatest contribution to the understanding of welding metallurgy". On the right is a page of the
Welding Journal paper that shows the 3-D structure of an inclusion cluster and a
model for the inclusion-interface migration and separation during the thermal
cycles.
New Publication: Our new paper co-authored and guided by Dr. Tom
Lienert on laser-DED of Grade 91 was recently published. Congratulations
to Zhe Lyu and co-authors for applying welding metallurgy to the
kinetics of phase transformations (both solidification segregation and
delta ferrite to austenite) during rapid cooling. Please pay attention
to the "extended CCT diagram" concept the paper proposed for rapid
cooling rates. For open access:
