Bio/Research
Dr. Lukas Bichler received his Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering (specializing in Manufacturing, Materials and Solid Mechanics) from Ryerson University, Toronto. Upon graduation, he received NSERC-Postdoctoral fellowship, tenured at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Toronto. Dr. Bichler’s industrially driven research focuses on manufacturing and casting of near-net-shape magnesium alloy components for the automotive and aerospace industries. Specifically, the research seeks to advance the understanding of the fundamental mechanisms associated with hot tearing (cracking) in magnesium alloys. Dr. Bichler pioneered the method of using neutron diffraction to measure elastic residual stresses and strains in castings with distinct degrees of hot tearing. Dr. Bichler also participated in the development of the lost-foam casting (LFC) process for magnesium alloys. The research program involved extensive collaboration with Canadian federal government laboratories and industrial partners. The program resulted in the identification of critical process parameters to enable production of premium-quality magnesium alloy castings.
