About
Dr. Wei Yang Lim is a leading researcher in advanced surface engineering and additive manufacturing, with a primary focus on laser-cladding technologies for protective coatings. His most cited work, a 2022 review on recent advances in laser-cladding of metal alloys, has garnered 52 citations and stands as a key reference in the field. Dr. Lim addresses the critical challenge of material degradation—triggered by tribological systems and extreme conditions such as high temperatures, irradiation, erosion, and corrosion—by exploring innovative surface engineering solutions. His research systematically compares traditional methods like cold-working, carbonization, and nitridation with modern laser-cladding techniques, demonstrating how the latter offers superior performance for protective coating and additive manufacturing. By bridging fundamental materials science with practical industrial applications, Dr. Lim’s contributions are shaping next-generation strategies for extending the lifespan of metal alloys in demanding environments. His work is essential reading for students and researchers seeking to understand the cutting edge of surface protection and sustainable manufacturing.
