Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Composite material
  • Alloy
  • Metallurgy

His primary areas of investigation include Microstructure, Supercooling, Eutectic system, Metallurgy and Alloy. The various areas that Wilfried Kurz examines in his Microstructure study include Nanotechnology and Laser. His Supercooling study incorporates themes from Stability criterion, Thermal and Diffusion.

His Eutectic system study is concerned with the larger field of Crystallography. His research links Nucleation with Metallurgy. In the subject of general Alloy, his work in Dendrite and Directional solidification is often linked to Radius and Plane, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

His most cited work include:

  • Dendrite growth at the limit of stability: tip radius and spacing (729 citations)
  • Theory of Microstructural Development during Rapid Solidification (640 citations)
  • Solidification microstructures and solid-state parallels: Recent developments, future directions (460 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Metallurgy, Microstructure, Eutectic system, Supercooling and Alloy. His Metallurgy study combines topics in areas such as Laser, Phase diagram and Nucleation. His study in the field of Directional solidification also crosses realms of Plane.

His study looks at the relationship between Eutectic system and topics such as Lamellar structure, which overlap with Mineralogy. The concepts of his Supercooling study are interwoven with issues in Crystal growth and Thermal. He is interested in Dendrite, which is a branch of Alloy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Metallurgy (47.41%)
  • Microstructure (45.69%)
  • Eutectic system (33.62%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2000-2021)?

  • Microstructure (45.69%)
  • Metallurgy (47.41%)
  • Polymer (6.03%)

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

Wilfried Kurz mostly deals with Microstructure, Metallurgy, Polymer, Chemical physics and Ceramic. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Crystallization, Nanotechnology and Nucleation. His studies in Nucleation integrate themes in fields like Phase transition, Supercooling and Kinetics.

Wilfried Kurz works in the field of Metallurgy, namely Superalloy. His research on Polymer also deals with topics like

  • Amorphous solid, which have a strong connection to Gibbs free energy, Polymerization, Polymer science, Polymer chemistry and Monomer,
  • Corrosion which is related to area like Toughness, Redox and Moisture,
  • Diffusion that connect with fields like Kinetic energy, Ferrite, Solvus, Austenite and Non-equilibrium thermodynamics,
  • Material properties, which have a strong connection to Surface energy, Nanoscopic scale, Alloy and Phase diagram. His research in Chemical physics intersects with topics in Crystal and Crystal structure.

Between 2000 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Solidification microstructures and solid-state parallels: Recent developments, future directions (460 citations)
  • SINGLE-CRYSTAL LASER DEPOSITION OF SUPERALLOYS: PROCESSING-MICROSTRUCTURE MAPS (434 citations)
  • Columnar to equiaxed transition in solidification processing (204 citations)

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

  • Composite material
  • Alloy
  • Metallurgy

Wilfried Kurz spends much of his time researching Microstructure, Superalloy, Metallurgy, Directional solidification and Equiaxed crystals. Wilfried Kurz combines subjects such as Chemical physics and Alloy with his study of Microstructure. His work investigates the relationship between Superalloy and topics such as Single crystal that intersect with problems in Composite material and Grain boundary.

Many of his studies on Metallurgy apply to Nucleation as well. His Nucleation research includes elements of Arc welding, Welding and Aluminium. His Directional solidification study combines topics in areas such as Lamellar structure, Mineralogy, Instability and Isothermal process.
