About

Alexandru Pascu is a materials science and laser processing researcher whose work centers on advanced manufacturing techniques, particularly laser-based surface engineering and welding technologies. His most significant contribution lies in the field of laser cladding, where his 2019 paper "Laser cladding: from experimental research to industrial applications" has garnered 18 citations, establishing him as a notable voice in bridging laboratory research with real-world manufacturing implementation. His investigations span both surface modification and joining processes, including pioneering work on laser welding of dissimilar materials and detailed parametric studies of edge fillet welding in AISI 304 stainless steel, where he examined how process parameters govern weld bead geometry and microstructural characteristics. His 2017 study on pulsed laser cladding of Nickel-based Inconel 718 powder onto stainless steel substrates demonstrates his technical precision in optimizing deposition parameters for high-performance alloys. Collectively, Pascu's research addresses critical challenges in industrial manufacturing — improving material performance, joint integrity, and coating quality through controlled laser processing — making his work highly relevant to engineers and researchers working in aerospace, automotive, and precision manufacturing sectors.
