About
Roger Chan is a researcher in advanced manufacturing and materials processing, with a focus on surface integrity enhancement through mechanical surface treatments. His work centers on robotic hammer peening, a technique used to improve the fatigue life and wear resistance of metal components. Chan’s most cited paper, "Effect of Overlap in Robotic Hammer Peening on the Surface Integrity of Alloy Steel 4142" (2021), systematically investigates how peening overlap ratios influence residual stress distribution, microhardness, and surface roughness in alloy steel. This study provides critical process parameters for optimizing robotic peening in industrial applications, such as aerospace and automotive components. While his citation count is currently modest (2 citations for his top paper), his research addresses a practical gap in automated surface treatment, offering guidelines for achieving consistent surface quality. Chan’s work contributes to the growing field of robotic manufacturing, where precision and repeatability are paramount. His findings are particularly relevant for engineers seeking to integrate peening into automated production lines, reducing manual labor and enhancing component durability.
