About
Xian Yi Tan is a materials engineering researcher whose work centers on surface modification and advanced manufacturing techniques for high-performance alloys. Their most-cited study, "Grinding- and robotic hammer peening-induced modifications in the near-surface regions of laser-cladded Inconel 718 coatings" (2024), has already garnered 12 citations, highlighting its relevance to the aerospace and energy sectors. Tan’s research explores how mechanical surface treatments—such as grinding and robotic hammer peening—alter the microstructure, residual stress, and mechanical properties of laser-cladded Inconel 718, a nickel-based superalloy critical for turbine blades and high-temperature components. By systematically comparing these processes, Tan provides actionable insights into optimizing surface integrity for enhanced fatigue life and corrosion resistance. This work bridges the gap between additive manufacturing and post-processing, offering practical solutions for industry. Tan’s contributions are particularly notable for their focus on robotic automation, signaling a shift toward scalable, precise surface engineering. With a growing citation record, Tan is establishing a reputation for rigorous experimental analysis and applied metallurgy, making their research essential reading for engineers and scientists advancing durable, high-stress components.
