- This work directly images internal melt pool dynamics using synchrotron radiation to reveal how surface tension affects internal flow and welding performance. It provides new guidelines in optimising the widely used welding process. The paper was selected by Nature Communications themed collections on Metallurgy (2018) and Additive Manufacturing (2020) which showcases the latest advances in the fields. The results featured on the cover of Nature Comms issue. The work was highlighted in Diamond Light Source Annual Review 2020 for challenging experimentation using in-situ X-ray imaging of steel welding. The research attracted invited talks in USA, China, UK and South Africa.
