The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Composite material
  • Alloy
  • Metallurgy

His main research concerns Metallurgy, Microstructure, Pressing, Composite material and Alloy. In his work, Magnesium is strongly intertwined with Texture, which is a subfield of Metallurgy. His Microstructure research includes themes of Titanium and Deformation.

His work in the fields of Composite material, such as Ball mill, Shear stress, Severe plastic deformation and Shear, intersects with other areas such as High ratio. His Alloy study combines topics in areas such as Vickers hardness test, Solid solution and Dislocation. His work deals with themes such as Yield and Superplasticity, which intersect with Ultimate tensile strength.

His most cited work include:

  • Texture development and its effect on mechanical properties of an AZ61 Mg alloy fabricated by equal channel angular pressing (437 citations)
  • Mechanical properties and microstructures of an AZ61 Mg Alloy produced by equal channel angular pressing (292 citations)
  • Superplasticity in thin magnesium alloy sheets and deformation mechanism maps for magnesium alloys at elevated temperatures (258 citations)

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

Woo Jin Kim mainly investigates Metallurgy, Microstructure, Alloy, Composite material and Superplasticity. Metallurgy is represented through his Grain size, Magnesium alloy, Strain rate, Grain boundary and Severe plastic deformation research. Woo Jin Kim works mostly in the field of Microstructure, limiting it down to topics relating to Pressing and, in certain cases, Solid solution, as a part of the same area of interest.

The Alloy study which covers Extrusion that intersects with Forging. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Composite material, focusing on Annealing and, on occasion, Pseudoelasticity. The study incorporates disciplines such as Powder metallurgy, Grain Boundary Sliding, Carbide, Tensile testing and Flow stress in addition to Superplasticity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Metallurgy (71.04%)
  • Microstructure (40.98%)
  • Alloy (39.34%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Composite material (36.61%)
  • Strain rate (24.04%)
  • Alloy (39.34%)

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

Woo Jin Kim mostly deals with Composite material, Strain rate, Alloy, Creep and Deformation mechanism. His work in Composite material addresses subjects such as Annealing, which are connected to disciplines such as Pseudoelasticity and Shape-memory alloy. His work on Flow stress as part of general Strain rate study is frequently connected to Lattice diffusion coefficient, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His Alloy study introduces a deeper knowledge of Metallurgy. Woo Jin Kim has researched Deformation mechanism in several fields, including Grain Boundary Sliding and Dislocation. His studies deal with areas such as Nano- and Elongation as well as Microstructure.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • High-temperature deformation mechanisms and processing maps of equiatomic CoCrFeMnNi high-entropy alloy (23 citations)
  • Mechanical properties and Hall-Petch relationship of the extruded Mg-Zn-Y alloys with different volume fractions of icosahedral phase (23 citations)
  • The effect of Al to high-temperature deformation mechanisms and processing maps of Al0.5CoCrFeMnNi high entropy alloy (21 citations)

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

  • Composite material
  • Alloy
  • Aluminium

His primary scientific interests are in Composite material, Microstructure, Dynamic recrystallization, Creep and Recrystallization. His study in the fields of Alloy, Grain size and Severe plastic deformation under the domain of Composite material overlaps with other disciplines such as Boundary value problem. Woo Jin Kim combines subjects such as Ultimate tensile strength, Elongation and Extrusion with his study of Alloy.

The Grain size study combines topics in areas such as Slip and Grain boundary strengthening. His research in Microstructure is mostly concerned with Grain boundary. His studies in Dynamic recrystallization integrate themes in fields like Volume fraction and Strain rate.
