About

Dr. Rocco Lupoi is a leading expert in advanced manufacturing and materials joining, with a primary focus on cold spray additive manufacturing and welding technologies for high-performance alloys. His major contributions center on developing innovative repair and restoration techniques for critical components, particularly through cold spray processes—a solid-state deposition method that enables additive manufacture without melting. His 2017 work on "Cold Spray Additive Manufacture and Component Restoration" (17 citations) has become a foundational reference in the field, demonstrating how cold spray can restore worn or damaged parts while preserving material integrity. Dr. Lupoi has also advanced dissimilar welding methods, as shown in his 2021 study on robotic metal cored arc welding of conventional and high strength low alloy naval steels (9 citations), addressing critical needs in shipbuilding for joining materials with different mechanical properties. His research directly impacts industries requiring robust, corrosion-resistant joints and cost-effective component life extension. With growing citation impact, Dr. Lupoi’s work bridges fundamental materials science and practical engineering solutions, making him a notable figure in sustainable manufacturing and defense-related materials processing.
