PhD candidate Tyler Dabney has recently published in the journal ‘Materials and Design’ with his work on in-stiu characterization of cold spray coatings under tensile strain. Tyler’s work involved an immensely successful collaboration with Argonne National Lab, where he conducted in-situ characterization using the lab’s synchrotron accelerator to preform the experiment. Dabney studied the way coatings deform and fail using several mechanical testing methods and was also able to quantify dislocation density during these tests using the powerful synchrotron source.
