WANG Xiaodong

Xiaodong WANG is Professor at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS), Deputy Director of the Research Institute of Metal Materials Center of the Binzhou Institute of Technology, China. His major concern is the application of electromagnetic fields in material and metallurgy science and technology, he engages in the field of electromagnetic process of materials (EPM), MHD (Magnetohydrodynamics) and electromagnetic inspection. During the stay in EPM/CNRS, A Hele-Shaw like solidifying experimental benchmark has been conducted, which delivered exciting results including both the heat and mass evolution and the post-mortem microstructure and has been recommended as a standard contrast for number of numerical and experimental modeling for several European universities and research institutes. The electromagnetic effects on solidification process have been investigated. It demonstrated that a well controlled, periodically reversed, flow could tremendously reduce the segregation. The results were particularly significant and have attracted more attention in the communities of metallurgy and material sciences. An innovative method, named as "Lorentz force particle analyzer" (LFPA) has been achieved, which has a cable to quantitatively, in-situ, on time evaluate the cleanliness of high temperature liquid metal. This is an indeed challenge because of high temperature, hazardous and complex electromagnetic noise environment of high melt, A group of patents (USA, Germany, and China) were obtained by him being as the first inventor, his approach fulfilled with significantly industrial values and highlighted by the communities of Metallurgy and Material industry, and consequently has been financial sponsored by several international and national research founding.
