About

Qunli Zhang’s research focuses on laser surface engineering, particularly laser cladding and laser gas nitriding, with an emphasis on improving material performance and durability. His major contributions include advancing the understanding of how laser processing parameters influence microstructure and cavitation erosion resistance, notably in Ti6Al4V alloy treated by laser gas nitriding using a scanning galvanometer—a study that has garnered 26 citations since 2022. Zhang has also pioneered the application of statistical regression designs to simulate laser cladding, addressing the challenge of optimizing over 100 process variables to achieve cost-effective and rapid selection of working conditions. His 2012 work on regression designs for laser cladding simulation, with 7 citations, and his 2010 modeling of diode laser robotized cladding systems, with 4 citations, underscore his systematic approach to process modeling. Through these efforts, Zhang has provided practical frameworks for industry and research, enabling more efficient and reliable laser-based material treatments. His work is notable for bridging theoretical modeling with real-world application, making him a key figure in laser surface modification.
