Composite material, Microstructure, Adiabatic shear band, Metallurgy and Grain size are his primary areas of study. His work in the fields of Composite material, such as Ultimate tensile strength, Deformation mechanism, Shear band and Fracture, overlaps with other areas such as Anisotropy. His Microstructure study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Alloy and Extrusion.

Qiuming Wei focuses mostly in the field of Adiabatic shear band, narrowing it down to matters related to Stress and, in some cases, Load capacity. His Metallurgy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Transmission electron microscopy and Nanocrystalline material. His research investigates the connection with Grain size and areas like Tungsten which intersect with concerns in Refractory metals and Grain boundary.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Temperature Rise Associated with Adiabatic Shear Band: Causality Clarified. (63 citations)
  • Temperature Rise Associated with Adiabatic Shear Band: Causality Clarified. (63 citations)
  • A comparative study on the in situ helium irradiation behavior of tungsten: Coarse grain vs. nanocrystalline grain (38 citations)

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

  • Composite material
  • Thermodynamics
  • Aluminium

His primary areas of study are Adiabatic shear band, Metallurgy, Strain rate, Composite material and Tungsten. His study in Microstructure and Deformation mechanism is done as part of Metallurgy. Qiuming Wei has included themes like Ductility and Grain size in his Microstructure study.

His research investigates the connection between Strain rate and topics such as Strengthening mechanisms of materials that intersect with issues in Nanoindentation, Strain hardening exponent, Toughness, Boron carbide and Flow stress. His work on Transmission electron microscopy expands to the thematically related Composite material. His studies in Tungsten integrate themes in fields like Grain boundary and Nanocrystalline material.
