Professor Chang-Sung Seok's research lab specializes in advanced materials engineering with a focus on high-performance alloys, polymers, and ceramics for extreme service environments. The lab investigates the microstructural evolution, mechanical behavior, and long-term degradation mechanisms of materials such as superalloys, rubber composites, and heat-resistant steels under high-temperature and aging conditions. Key research directions include creep resistance, thermal barrier coatings, aging-induced property changes, and the development of reliable life prediction models for critical industrial components.

This paper describes the manufacturing method and properties of a superalloy as a gas turbine blade material and a thermal barrier coating to protect it. The development process of superalloy and characteristics of each casting method were introduced. In particular, the single crystal superalloys were analyzed for creep and tensile properties with temperature according to chemical composition. In addition, the theories of creep life prediction models were summarized and comparative analysis was
Natural rubber/butadiene rubber (NR/BR) blends are widely used in industrial areas for absorbing vibrations and shocks because of their excellent elastic stability. However, when an industrial-equipment surface is exposed to sunlight and oxygen over a long period of time, the rubber hardens. As a result, the tensile properties of the rubber material and the behavior of the strain-energy density function are changed, greatly reducing the performance of the rubber product. However, only a few expe
Polymers are widely used in various industries because of their characteristics such as elasticity, abrasion resistance, fatigue resistance and low temperature. In particular, the tensile characteristic of rubber composites is important for the stability of industrial equipment because it determines the energy absorption rates and vibration damping. However, when a product is used for a long period of time, polymers become hardened owing to the changes in characteristics because of aging, thereb
21-4N austenitic heat-resistant steel is widely used as the material for automobile engine valves because of its high strength, excellent creep resistance, oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance under high-temperature circumstances. Engine valves, which are exposed to high temperatures for long periods, undergo material degradation in which the initial microstructure of the material is changed, resulting in deterioration of mechanical properties. This degradation can cause valve failure.
