The event was launched at the seven-floor activity room of the mechanical Engineering building, with the theme "3D printing molding of metal alloys: microstructure, performance and phase change". Mechanical and electrical college teachers and related professional graduate students a total of more than 50 people participated in the "Meet the Master face" teacher forum activities.

Professor Zhang graduated from the Institute of Metals of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a "Humboldt" scholar from Germany, is currently a professor at Eddie Cowan University in Australia and head of mechanical engineering, an Australian Research Council (ARC) project review expert and an Australian Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) Project review expert. He has long been engaged in the preparation, structure and properties of new metal structural materials, metal-based biomaterials and composites, nanocrystalline and metal glass, as well as research on the preparation, processing and properties of metal additive manufacturing, especially new titanium alloys, and has hosted and participated in more than 20 research projects such as the Australian Research Council project. To date, his H index is 41, published in English Monographs 2, book chapter 17, published in Advanced Materials (advanced materials, Impact factor 21.95), Advanced functional Materials (Advanced functional Materials, Impact factor 13.32), Acta Materialia (Journal of Materials, Influencing factor 6.036), Scripta materialia (Material Express, Impact factor 4.163) and other internationally renowned academic journals published more than 180 sci papers, more than 10 academic articles were rated as ESI "hot articles", esi "high cited articles." An article has been invited to write a review of selective laser melting titanium alloys and electron beam molten titanium alloys, serving as the editorial board of Advanced Engineering Materials, Metals, Materials Science and the journal.

Professor Tan of our school introduced Professor Zhang

Additive manufacturing technology can efficiently process complex parts with near-clean shape, as there is no need to process molds and subsequent processing processes during processing. In recent years, additive manufacturing technology has become a research hotspot. Titanium and titanium alloys are widely used in aerospace, biomedical and chemical industries due to their excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Titanium alloys are expensive to process because they tend to take time to consume energy during the traditional preparation of titanium alloy materials and devices, while also having a large waste of raw materials. This report reports the application of additive manufacturing technology (selective laser melting, electron beam melting technology) in medical titanium alloys and their composites, and studies the design of medical titanium alloy assemblies, the effects of different process parameters on density, microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion properties. At the same time, titanium alloy in situ nanocomposites were prepared by using phase change caused by selective laser melting heating.
