About
Nakul Gupta is a materials engineer whose research focuses on the development of lightweight, high-strength metallic laminates for aerospace, defense, and transportation applications. His most cited work investigates the bonding strength and microstructural evolution of Al5083-AZ31B alloy sheets fabricated through friction stir additive manufacturing (FSAM). This study, which has garnered 30 citations, demonstrates a novel solid-state processing route to create laminated composites with superior mechanical properties by avoiding the formation of brittle intermetallic phases. Gupta’s contribution lies in correlating process parameters—such as tool rotational speed and traverse feed—with interfacial bonding quality, providing a foundational framework for designing defect-free, multi-layered aluminum-magnesium structures. While a separate 2023 publication on advanced composite manufacturing was retracted due to ethical breaches by a co-author, Gupta’s primary work on FSAM remains a valuable reference for researchers exploring solid-state joining and additive manufacturing of dissimilar alloys. His findings are particularly relevant for industries seeking to replace conventional materials with lighter, stronger alternatives, and his work continues to inform the development of scalable, energy-efficient fabrication techniques for next-generation structural components.
