About
Dr. Manoj Rathod is a leading expert in laser-based surface engineering and materials processing, with a particular focus on enhancing the wear and corrosion resistance of industrial components. His pioneering work on laser cladding, demonstrated in his highly cited 2006 study, established a novel methodology for depositing advanced materials like Stellite-6 and vanadium carbide onto carbon steel substrates using a yttrium–aluminum–garnet (YAG) laser robot system. This research provided a robust, automated solution for repairing and protecting machinery parts, significantly improving their service life under harsh conditions. With over 6 citations, this foundational paper has influenced subsequent developments in laser additive manufacturing and surface modification. Dr. Rathod’s contributions are instrumental in bridging the gap between laboratory-scale laser processing and practical, industrial-scale applications, making him a key figure in the field of tribology and materials engineering.
