About
O.S. Fatoba is a materials scientist and surface engineering researcher whose work sits at the intersection of laser-based manufacturing, advanced coatings, and metallurgical characterization. His research has made significant contributions to the field of laser metal deposition, particularly focusing on titanium alloys such as Ti-6Al-4V, where he has systematically investigated how process parameters, alloy composition, and cooling rates govern microstructural evolution, mechanical performance, and corrosion resistance. His most cited work, a 2018 study on laser-deposited Ti-Co coatings (61 citations), highlights his expertise in developing protective surface solutions for titanium substrates that suffer from poor tribological behavior in demanding environments. Fatoba has further broadened his scope to explore quasicrystalline Al-Cu-Fe coatings, Al-Si-Sn systems on steel, and composite coatings optimized through Taguchi and response surface methodologies — demonstrating a rigorous, data-driven approach to engineering superior surface properties. His interdisciplinary reach extends into nanotechnology, with a forward-looking clinical review on nano-diagnostic devices attracting 38 citations. Collectively, his body of work addresses critical industrial challenges in wear, corrosion, and surface integrity, making him a valuable contributor to modern advanced manufacturing and materials engineering research.
