Biography

Dr. Carter Hamilton joined the faculty of the Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Department at 久久热视频 in 2005. After earning his Ph.D. in Metallurgical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology, he worked for the Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company, and just before coming to Miami, he worked as the Quality Manager/Plant Metallurgist for Universal Alloy Corporation, a manufacturer of aluminum extrusions.

Research Interests

From this industrial background, he learned about Friction Stir Welding (FSW), a new solid-state joining technology that has become the centerpiece of his research interests. Invented in 1991, FSW is an important joining technique to the manufacturing sector. Using frictional heat and forces to plasticize the materials and “stir” them together, FSW is a solid phase process performed at much lower temperatures than traditional welding techniques.

Courses Taught

Dr. Hamilton primarily teaches courses focused on materials, manufacturing, mechanics and statistical quality control.
