Specialization
Materials Characterization.
Expertise
Materials characterization including mechanical properties and microstructural characterization;metastable alloys; spark plasma alloying.
Education
Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Louisiana State ¾Å¾Å¸£ÀûÍø, 1992.
Research
Dr. Schilling directsan applied research program in the developmentand characterization
of materials. He has worked extensively in novel metallurgical
techniques including mechanical alloying for the development of nanocrystalline alloys; and
metal surface modification by electro-plasma processing and electro-spark alloying for
improvedcorrosion andwear resistance. Studies have included the application of mechanical
alloying in theproduction of nanostructuredhalf-Heusler alloys for thermoelectric
power generation, and the characterization of processing effects on the stir zone
in friction stir welded aluminumalloys. In addition, Dr. Schilling is the co-author of
the computer-aided design text, Parametric Modeling with SolidWorks.
