About

Muralimohan Cheepu is a materials and manufacturing engineer whose research spans advanced welding technologies, additive manufacturing, and functionally graded materials. He has made significant contributions to improving the efficiency, quality, and sustainability of welding processes, particularly tungsten inert gas (TIG) and its advanced variants. His most cited work, a 2024 comprehensive review on additively manufactured Functionally Graded Materials (107 citations), has become an essential reference for researchers exploring next-generation material fabrication techniques, examining design concepts, manufacturing methods, and material selection in this rapidly evolving field. Cheepu has also advanced welding science through detailed characterization of Inconel 625 Super-TIG welds and innovative studies on C-type filler metals designed to overcome the traditionally low deposition rates of gas tungsten arc welding. His research on robotic Activated-TIG welding for dissimilar steel joints addresses critical challenges in power plant infrastructure, improving productivity while minimizing distortion. His forward-looking work on welding in Industry 5.0 reflects a commitment to the future of human-robot collaborative manufacturing. With over 150 cumulative citations, Cheepu's research consistently bridges fundamental materials science with practical industrial application.
