About
Dr. Siew Lang Teo is a leading researcher in advanced surface engineering and additive manufacturing, with a primary focus on enhancing the performance of high-temperature alloys. Her work centers on the post-processing of laser-cladded coatings, particularly Inconel 718, a critical material for aerospace and energy applications. Dr. Teo’s major contribution lies in systematically comparing the effects of grinding and robotic hammer peening on the near-surface microstructural and mechanical properties of these coatings. Her 2024 study, which has already garnered 12 citations, demonstrates how these mechanical surface treatments can significantly improve residual stress profiles and hardness, thereby extending component lifespan. This research bridges the gap between traditional machining and emerging robotic peening technologies, offering industry a scalable path to optimize coating integrity. Dr. Teo’s work is notable for its rigorous experimental design and direct industrial relevance, positioning her as a key voice in the evolution of surface modification for additively manufactured parts. Her findings are essential reading for engineers seeking to mitigate failure in demanding operational environments.
