About

Dr. Priti Wanjara is a leading researcher in advanced manufacturing and materials joining, with a focus on friction stir welding and laser processing for aerospace applications. Her work on the "Gap tolerance allowance and robotic operational window for friction stir butt welding of AA6061" (2012, 46 citations) has been instrumental in improving the robustness and automation of friction stir welding for aluminum alloys, directly impacting industrial scalability. She has also made significant contributions to the joining of nickel-based superalloys, as demonstrated in her study on "Optimization of Nd:YAG-Laser Welding Process for Inconel 718 Alloy" (2007, 5 citations), which addresses critical challenges in fabricating aircraft engine components that require exceptional heat and corrosion resistance. More recently, Dr. Wanjara has ventured into space manufacturing with her work on "FFC Cambridge process and metallic 3D printing for deep in-situ resource utilisation - A match made on the moon" (2017, 4 citations), proposing innovative methods for producing metallic components from lunar or Martian resources. Her research bridges fundamental process optimization with real-world applications, making her a key figure in sustainable and high-performance manufacturing.
