Prof. Adrian Gerlich is now one of the nominees selected to be a recipient of the Faculty of Engineering Award of Excellence in Graduate Supervision. Nominees selected to receive the Faculty of Engineering Award of Excellence in Graduate Supervision are also considered for the University Award of Excellence in Graduate Supervision.

This one day workshop will focus on issues relating to vehicle light-weighting, such as joining, corrosion, and implementation of dissimilar materials. Both academic and industrial speakers will present their latest findings and perspectives on subjects including:

  • Friction stir welding
  • Corrosion of Mg alloys
  • Spot welding of light alloys
  • Joining of aluminum to steel
  • High productivity arc welding of aluminum

Dr. Yamamoto is a professor at Hiroshima University, Mechanical Science and Engineering in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. The topic of his talk was "Development of hot‐wire laser welding processes
and observation techniques for welding phenomena"

University of Waterloo grad and CAMJ alumni Ibraheem Khan and his startup, Smarter Alloys, are finding success despite a weakening Canadian economy. Smarter Alloys uses its own Multiple Memory Material to precisely control the pseudoelastic and shape memory effect of a shape memory alloy. The company plans to continue growing in the coming months.

Dr Jolanta Janzack–Rusch is a professor at Empa, Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, her topic was “Development of nano-layered brazing fillers for low-temperature joining”.

Her presentation was focused on methods of developing low temperature joints for high temperature applications, using nano-structured multilayers.

Dr Baltezar is a professor in Materials Science and Engineering Department, Autonomous University of Zacatecas, Mexico. The topic of his talk was “Tempered Martensite Islands Characterization in GMAW of Automotive DP980 steel”.

He discussed a model for predicting the hardness of DP980 steel after subjecting to various heat treating cycles.

Dr. Remes is an assistant professor in Marine Technology, Department of Applied Mechanics, School of Engineering, Alato University, Finland. His talk was centered on the analyses of the performance of large steel structures fabricated from new steels operating in marine environments. Emphases was placed on fatigue and fracture modeling, and notch sensitivity of welded high strength steel marine structures.
