Research Summary
Metal 3D Printing, WAAM, Computational Numerical Analysis, Material Characterization;
Irfan’s research focuses on the manufacturing and characterization of bimetallic structures, specifically 17-4PH and Inconel 625, manufactured through Wire-Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM). His work includes analysing the mechanical properties of the joints through testing and material characterization. Additionally, Irfan is developing a computational numerical model for simulating the WAAM process, aiming to optimize it.
