About

Carlo Mapelli is a leading figure in materials science and metallurgy, with a primary focus on advanced welding technologies and the development of high-performance superalloys. His research centers on the intersection of laser-based manufacturing and the mechanical behavior of precipitation-strengthened nickel-base superalloys, critical for aerospace and energy applications. Mapelli’s most-cited work, "Modern fiber laser beam welding of the newly-designed precipitation-strengthened nickel-base superalloys" (2013, 47 citations), represents a foundational contribution to the field, demonstrating how fiber laser welding can be optimized to join these complex alloys without compromising their microstructural integrity. This study has guided subsequent efforts to improve weld quality and reduce defects in high-temperature components. Beyond this paper, Mapelli has explored topics such as hot cracking mechanisms and the influence of thermal cycles on alloy performance, earning recognition for bridging fundamental materials science with industrial process innovation. His work has been cited over 200 times, reflecting its influence on both academic research and practical engineering solutions. Mapelli’s achievements include collaborations with leading industrial partners and contributions to the design of next-generation superalloys, making him a key resource for students and researchers interested in the future of high-temperature materials and advanced manufacturing.
