Weaver Research Group

The Weaver Research Group, directed by Prof. Mark L. Weaver, conducts research within the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at The University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa, AL).

We focus on the fundamental linkages between the microstructures and properties of materials.  Our current areas of research include: processing and properties of high entropy alloys and refractory metal alloys and coatings for high temperature applications, deformation and fracture behavior of structural alloys, and characterization of phase transformations and phase equilibria in multicomponent alloys, and additive friction stir deposition of high strength alloys.
