Abstract:  Magnesium alloys are the lowest density of all structural metallic materials, however they have not seen widespread usage in aerospace and transportation applications due in large part to the lack of strength and low temperature ductility. Recent results have shown that nanostructured Mg-alloys may circumvent these concerns. In this talk, we will present the latest strategies for synthesis and fabrication of nanostructured Mg-alloys (including severe plastic deformation, powder metallurgy, and nanoparticle dispersions), the property space achievable (including record strength), transitional challenges and barriers, and the future opportunities for this emerging class of materials.

Biography:  Prof. Suveen Mathaudhu serves as an Assistant Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department and the Materials Science and Engineering Program at the University of California, Riverside.  He also holds a joint-appointment as Chief Scientist in the Energy and Environment Directorate at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.  In these roles, he studies the underpinning mechanisms that will make metallic materials and composites lighter and stronger. His research interests encompass all aspects of the fundamental processing-microstructure-property-performance relationships in metallic and composite materials.  Mathaudhu is a 2015 Fellow of ASM International, and the 2015 AAES Norm Augustine Award winner for Outstanding Achievement in Engineering Communication, and a 2016 NSF CAREER Awardee. He is active in several technical societies, and also an expert on the science of superheroes as depicted in comic books and their associated movies.  Mathaudhu received his B.S. from Walla Walla University and Ph.D. from Texas A&M University, all in Mechanical Engineering.
