Rong Liu

Rong Liu is Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Carleton University. His research focuses on advanced materials development, including atomistic computational design of high-temperature alloys, wear-resistant coatings, and fatigue prediction models. Collaborations include National Research Council Canada and industrial partners like Kennametal Stellite.

Key research areas:

• Creep/oxidation performance of superalloys
• Mechanical-alloying synthesis techniques
• Microstructural characterization
• Thermal barrier coating failure mechanisms

Funded by NSERC, Kennametal Stellite, and Velan Inc. Recent publications analyze creep behavior in modified chromium steels and cobalt high-entropy alloys.
