About

Nitin Kumar Lautre is a researcher at the forefront of advanced welding and additive manufacturing, with a primary focus on Cold Metal Transfer (CMT) and Gas Tungsten Arc (GTA) welding processes. His work is particularly notable for its application to specialized materials, such as CRNGO electrical steel and stainless steel (SS308LSi), where he investigates both performance and structural integrity. A key contribution is his pioneering study on CMT-Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) for fabricating thin overhanging discs, where he identified and addressed critical geometrical abnormalities like sagging, demonstrating a deep understanding of process-structure-property relationships. His most-cited paper, "Performance assessment of CMT over GTA welding on stacked thin sheets of CRNGO electrical steel" (2020), has garnered 23 citations, establishing a foundation for his work. With a combined citation count of 30 across his top papers, Lautre’s research is gaining traction for its practical insights into welding challenges and future trends. His recent contributions, including a comprehensive overview of advanced welding techniques, underscore his role in shaping the next generation of joining technologies, making his work essential reading for students and researchers in materials science and manufacturing engineering.
