Dr. Fraser has an active research program in the development of new and improved materials, including:
• Advanced materials characterization
• Direct 3-D microstructural representation
• Modeling microstructure/properties in light alloys, with an emphasis at present on Ti alloys
• Development of creep resistant beta-Ti alloys
• Development of low modulus beta-Ti alloys for orthopedic implants
• Powder metallurgy, including LENS™ and Kinetic Metallization processing
His work is based on research involving the development of advanced methods of materials characterization (involving high resolution and analytical electron microscopy), materials processing, and microstructure/property relationships.
More recently, he has concentrated effort on establishing the Center for the Accelerated Maturation of Materials (CAMM). At present, he serves as Director of both CAMM and the CEOF (Campus Electron Optics Facility), and is responsible for soliciting funds from NSF, AFRL/AFOSR, ONR, DARPA, the State of Ohio, and industrial partners.
He has served as a member of the National Materials Advisory Board and the US Air Force Scientific Advisory Board. He has consulted for a number of national laboratories and several industrial companies. He is a Fellow of TMS, ASM and IOM3 (UK).
He has published over 330 papers in scholarly journals, given over 200 invited presentations, and is involved with the development of several patents on new materials. He has graduated 41 doctoral students and 33 master's students.
