About

Saurav Goel is a leading researcher in advanced manufacturing and surface engineering, with a particular focus on thermal spray coating processes. His work addresses critical challenges in process optimization and real-time monitoring, bridging the gap between industrial practice and scientific understanding. Goel’s major contributions include developing a guiding framework for process parameter optimization in thermal spraying, a systematic approach that empowers manufacturers to move beyond reliance on original equipment manufacturer (OEM) recipes. This framework, detailed in his most-cited 2023 paper (19 citations), provides a methodology for tailoring coating parameters to achieve desired microstructures and mechanical properties. Additionally, Goel has pioneered the use of acoustic emission (AE) sensors for in situ process monitoring of air plasma-sprayed titanium deposition (2023, 5 citations). This work demonstrates the robustness of AE data as a non-destructive, real-time tool for quality control during deposition, offering significant potential for reducing defects and improving coating reliability. By integrating sensor technology with process optimization, Goel is advancing the intelligence and efficiency of thermal spray manufacturing, making his research highly relevant for both academic and industrial applications.
