Abstract: In this presentation addressing industrialization challenges in Metallic Additive Manufacturing will be discussed. The metallic additive manufacturing processes include Laser/Electron Powder Bed Fusion, Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing, Additive Friction Stir Deposition and other. The on-going research in the AMRC on these processes as well as advances in quality control, material characterization and testing, process monitoring and control, and process modelling will be explained.

Biography: Dr. Evren Yasa is the Head of Additive Manufacturing at AMRC, the University of Sheffield leading AM activities and capabilities to address industrialisation of mainly metallic AM processes to widen its scope and applicability to real-world problems. Dr. Yasa graduated with her B.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Istanbul Technical University (Turkey) and completed her master's degree at the University of British Columbia (BC, Canada) on volumetric error modelling and compensation. She received her Ph.D. degree with her thesis on "Combined Process of Selective Laser Melting and Selective Laser Erosion/Laser Re-melting" at the Catholic University of Leuven, for which she was awarded the "Emerald Outstanding Doctoral Study-Highly commended". After her Ph.D. study, she worked as a senior engineer at TEI, a GE-joint venture company specializing in manufacturing aero-engine parts, where she led Additive Manufacturing projects and facilities.

Later, she joined Eskisehir Osmangazi University as an assistant professor and worked as a consultant to aerospace and defence companies to adopt Additive Manufacturing processes. She has been working as an independent expert in the field of laser-based manufacturing on behalf of the European Commission to evaluate proposals and project progresses.
Attendance is mandatory for the students registered in-person version of the Rutgers ISE seminar. For online and part-time students, seminar will be recorded and made available through Canvas.
