The Purdue Center for Surface Engineering and Enhancement (CSEE) meeting in September validated the growth of materials engineering research in the USA.
The conference was a multiple industry consortia with participants from several Materials Engineering schools in attendance, including Heat Treating and Casting.
Representatives from over a dozen industries shared information on how to make surfaces of structural materials better.
The CSEE’s industry sponsors link Purdue’s research to real-life applications and this keeps manufacturing growing and current with today’s fast moving technology processes.
Presentations relating to shot peening included:
- “Wear and Fatigue Behavior of Surface Modified Additively Manufactured Components” by Professors Michael Titus, Michael Sealy, and Paul Mort.
- Professors Paul Mort and David Johnson covered “Stress Mapping of Almen Strips, Correlating to Peened Parts.”
An event at a local pub with the Purdue Heat Treating Consortium staff, Purdue faculty, and students was a great opportunity to network. Thank you to the Purdue team that made this event possible.
