About
Xiangkun Zeng is a rising researcher in the field of additive manufacturing, with a primary focus on arc-based metal deposition and materials engineering. His work centers on understanding how process parameters—particularly welding modes—affect the morphology, microstructure, and mechanical properties of stainless steel components. In his most cited study, Zeng systematically investigated the influence of different robotic metal-inert gas welding modes on SS316L stainless steel deposition, revealing critical relationships between welding technique and final part performance. This research provides valuable guidance for optimizing arc additive manufacturing processes, which are increasingly adopted across aerospace, automotive, and biomedical industries. Although early in his career, with his top-cited paper accumulating 4 citations since 2024, Zeng’s work addresses a fundamental gap in process-structure-property linkages for stainless steel fabrication. His findings help manufacturers select appropriate welding strategies to achieve desired mechanical outcomes, contributing to the broader goal of making additive manufacturing more reliable and efficient. As the field continues to expand, Zeng’s systematic approach to process optimization positions him as a promising contributor to next-generation manufacturing technologies.
