2. New technology of short process of preparation and processing

3. Integrated computing engineering for materials

Scientific research achievement :

He has been engaged in the research on the basic theory and application of new technology of short-process preparation and processing of high performance metal materials for a long time, and has enriched and developed the new ideas of short-process preparation by controlled solidification and controlled forming of high performance metal materials. He has made innovative research achievements in the preparation and processing of high-performance copper-aluminum composites, high-performance copper alloys, and high-performance difficult-processing rare metal materials, and related achievements have been applied in civil industry, national defense and military industry.

He has won a second prize of the State Technological Invention Award, a second prize of National Prize for Progress in Science and Technology, and four first prizes at provincial and ministerial level. He has undertaken more than 20 scientific research projects such as the National Natural Science Foundation for Distinguished Young Scholars of China, the Key foundation for National Defense, the National Key Research and Development Program of China and 863 Program. He has published more than 60 papers in journals such as JAC, JMPT, MMTA/B, MSEA, JMR, Corrosion Science, etc. He has applied for 38 national invention patents, of which 30 have been authorized. The patents have been implemented in 8 enterprises and produced significant economic and social benefits. He has also developed one ASTM international standard of the United States and two national standards of China about new materials.
