Gang Liu

Dr. Gang Liu is a Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials, Department of Structural and Nano-/Micromechanics of Materials in Düsseldorf, Germany. His work focuses on the microstructural and mechanical behavior of advanced materials, particularly nickel-based superalloys, intermetallic materials, and their applications in hydrogen storage. His research explores deformation mechanisms, phase transformations, and defect analyses under various conditions such as thermal exposure and fatigue.

Dr. Liu’s research interests include fretting fatigue in titanium alloys, high-cycle fatigue life prediction in IN713C superalloys, and the influence of microstructural parameters like Ti/Al ratios and grain orientation on material performance. His studies often combine advanced transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with computational modeling to understand micromechanisms at the nano- and microscale.

Publications highlight a focus on phase transformations, solidification processes, and creep behavior in superalloys. His work contributes to improving material durability and reliability in high-stress aerospace and energy applications.
