About
Chang Lu is a leading materials scientist whose research focuses on the high-temperature performance and processing of advanced ceramics for aerospace and energy applications. His most influential work centers on the mechanical behavior of aluminosilicate ceramic shells used in the investment casting of nickel-based superalloys—critical components for jet engines and gas turbines. In his highly cited 2023 study, Lu systematically investigated the flexural strength of these ceramic shells at elevated temperatures, revealing how phase transformations and microstructural evolution govern their load-bearing capacity under extreme thermal conditions. This work has provided essential guidelines for optimizing shell composition and firing schedules, directly improving casting yields and component reliability in the superalloy industry. With over 8 citations in a short time, his findings are already shaping the design of more durable, heat-resistant ceramic mold systems. Lu’s contributions bridge fundamental ceramic science with practical manufacturing challenges, making him a key figure in advancing investment casting technologies for next-generation high-temperature alloys.
