About

Onour Kechagia is a materials scientist specializing in additive manufacturing and aluminum alloy processing. Her research focuses on wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), a technique that uses electric arcs to melt wire feedstock for building complex metal structures. Her most-cited work, “Effect of process parameters on mechanical properties of 5554 aluminum alloy fabricated by wire arc additive manufacturing” (2025, 8 citations), investigates how deposition parameters influence the mechanical performance of WAAM-produced components. This study provides critical insights for optimizing process conditions to achieve high-quality, durable aluminum parts—a key challenge in industrial additive manufacturing. Kechagia’s contributions advance the understanding of process-structure-property relationships in WAAM, supporting its adoption for rapid, cost-effective production in aerospace and automotive sectors. Her work underscores the potential of WAAM to deliver both speed and product quality, addressing a pivotal need in modern manufacturing. With growing citation impact, Kechagia is establishing herself as a rising voice in sustainable and efficient metal fabrication technologies.
