His primary area of study in Microstructure is in the field of Severe plastic deformation. His Copper research extends to the thematically linked field of Composite material.

His most cited work include:

• Revealing Extraordinary Intrinsic Tensile Plasticity in Gradient Nano-Grained Copper (775 citations)
• An investigation of surface nanocrystallization mechanism in Fe induced by surface mechanical attrition treatment (739 citations)
• Nitriding iron at lower temperatures. (504 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Metallurgy, Composite material, Microstructure, Deformation and Surface layer. His Metallurgy study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Nanocrystalline material. His Composite material research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Nanoscopic scale and Nanostructure.

In the subject of general Microstructure, his work in Severe plastic deformation and Electron backscatter diffraction is often linked to Nucleation, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His studies in Deformation integrate themes in fields like Dynamic recrystallization, Strain rate, Shear band and Lamellar structure. His Surface layer research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Transmission electron microscopy, Nanometre, Nitriding and Grain boundary.

He most often published in these fields:

• Metallurgy (71.96%)
• Composite material (42.99%)
• Microstructure (36.45%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

• Composite material (42.99%)
• Metallurgy (71.96%)
• Austenitic stainless steel (12.15%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary scientific interests are in Composite material, Metallurgy, Austenitic stainless steel, Austenite and Annealing. As a member of one scientific family, Nairong Tao mostly works in the field of Composite material, focusing on Nanostructure and, on occasion, Solid solution and Tension. The Microstructure, Electron backscatter diffraction and Grain boundary research Nairong Tao does as part of his general Metallurgy study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Nucleation, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

His studies deal with areas such as Ductility, Crystal twinning, Diffusionless transformation and Elongation as well as Austenitic stainless steel. Nairong Tao has researched Ultimate tensile strength in several fields, including Deformation mechanism and Alloy. His Plasticity research includes themes of Stress and Dislocation.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Mechanically-induced grain coarsening in gradient nano-grained copper (57 citations)
• Improved fatigue resistance of gradient nanograined Cu (27 citations)
• Combined strengthening from nanotwins and nanoprecipitates in an iron-based superalloy (27 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

• Composite material
• Alloy
• Metallurgy

His primary areas of investigation include Composite material, Metallurgy, Annealing, Nanostructure and Dislocation. His study in the field of Fatigue resistance is also linked to topics like Homogeneous. His research integrates issues of Precipitation hardening, Strain rate, Solid solution and Crystallite in his study of Annealing.

The concepts of his Strain rate study are interwoven with issues in Electron backscatter diffraction, Microstructure, Recrystallization and Martensite. The various areas that Nairong Tao examines in his Nanostructure study include Fatigue damage, Homogenization, Surface roughening, Copper and Alloy. In his research, Grain boundary strengthening, Stress, Surface layer, Deformation mechanism and Stress–strain curve is intimately related to Plasticity, which falls under the overarching field of Dislocation.
