Research Areas:  Stress corrosion cracking and hydrogen induced cracking of pipeline steels, high temperature materials

Dr. Chen's current research areas include stress corrosion cracking and hydrogen-induced damage of pipeline steels, high temperature oxidation, carburization and metal dusting of heat resistant steels. Past research activities have included alloy microstructural design, deformation and fracture mechanisms of high temperature materials, and the effect of thermal processing on alloy micro-segregation.
