Dr. Benjamin Adam is a Research Associate with the Materials Science group in the Maseeh College of Engineering & Computer Science. Dr. Adam is also part of the Materials and Manufacturing Research Institute (MMRI). Dr. Adam’s technical specialties include classical physical metallurgy and material science of steels, high-temperature alloy systems, heat-resistant stainless steels and Ti-alloys, microstructural analysis and advanced characterization techniques, solid-phase transformations and heat treatments, and thermodynamic and kinetic modeling of metals.
Dr. Adam’s research and teaching interests primarily include understanding of traditional structure-property relationships and hot deformation behavior of metals using Gleeble 3500, effects of high-temperature corrosion in oxidizing and carburizing environments by supercritical CO2 and H2O, and metal additive manufacturing with ultra-low heat input techniques, e.g. ESD and CMT.
