Solomon Obadimu

Solomon Obadimu is a Researcher affiliated with the School of Engineering at the University of Limerick. His work focuses on Additive Manufacturing, particularly Material Extrusion processes for steel 316L. He investigates parameters like raster angle, printing conditions, and their effects on mechanical properties such as tensile strength, compression behavior, and shrinkage. His research also encompasses non-destructive testing methods like ultrasonic testing for defect analysis in additively manufactured materials.

Education: PhD (Awarded 23 Sep 2022).

Research Interests:

• Additive Manufacturing of metals
• Material behavior under mechanical loads
• Process-structure-property relationships in 3D printing
• Defect detection and optimization in AM components

Recent work trends show a focus on optimizing mechanical performance through parameter tuning and evaluating environmental effects like corrosion and load-rate impacts. His studies contribute to improving reliability and standardization of metal additive manufacturing processes.
