About
Wai Luen Chan is a researcher focused on advanced manufacturing processes, particularly in the realm of surface integrity enhancement for metallic materials. His work centers on robotic hammer peening, a technique used to improve the fatigue life and durability of alloy steels through controlled surface deformation. In his most-cited paper, "Effect of Overlap in Robotic Hammer Peening on the Surface Integrity of Alloy Steel 4142" (2021), Chan systematically investigates how the degree of peening overlap influences key surface properties such as residual stress distribution, microhardness, and surface roughness. This contribution provides critical insights for optimizing robotic peening parameters in industrial applications, bridging the gap between process control and material performance. While his citation count is currently modest, his research addresses a niche yet vital area in mechanical and materials engineering, offering practical guidelines for enhancing the longevity of high-strength steel components used in aerospace, automotive, and tooling industries. Chan’s work underscores the importance of precision in automated surface treatment, laying groundwork for future studies on process optimization and quality assurance in additive and subtractive manufacturing contexts.
