Dr Fanfu Wu is a research fellow withexperimentaland modelling experience in magnetic testing for steel microstructures, stress, strain,thermos-mechanical processing, and process steel data analytics in the Advanced Steel Research Centre (ASRC) in WMG, the University of Warwick to work on industrially relevant research projects to improve steel processes and products. He is part of High Value Manufacturing Catapult project to develop smart steel processing through the use of advanced Electromagnetic (EM) sensors, data analysis and experimental facilities to mimic industrial processing. He has been awarded a PhD on 2021 that focussed on the effect of cut edge, strain and stress on magnetic performance in non-grain oriented electrical steels used in electric motors. In that work a novel method was developed (with combined characterisation techniques of SEM EBSD and nano indentation) to quantify the cut edge damage (strain) and stress effect on the magnetic properties deterioration. His work in cut edge magnetic deterioration has helped WMG Univeristy of Warwick obtaiend research funding in electric motor projects, e.g., HVEM and COMPETE. In addition, experience with FEM simulations for electromagnetic sensors – materials relationships and fundamental understanding of stress-magnetic property relationships was gained from the PhD work. Fanfu has been working in several electromagnetic NDT and EM sensor projects (EPSRC andCatapultfunded) working with Tata Steel,British Steel, and Liberty Steel; i.e., carrying out feasibility studies for EM sensor measurements for decarburisation in rod samples and pearlite interlamellar spacing in rod and wire products with British Steel. He is an expert in EM sensor and Epstein frame measurement at high temperature. He has an excellent working relationship with others. He has co-supervised 3 masters students at WMG University of Warwick to explore novel EM sensor applications (for example non-uniformity of microstructure and hence properties across the coil in electrical steels with Tata Steel Cogent Power). Combined with his excellent experience in steel magnetic property and steel microstructures characterisation, training in EM testing and sensor techniques, he has obtained an EPSRC ECR grant inEM sensor field for residual stress measurement.
