Active Projects at MFRL
Currently, MFRL Lab is very active in three main projects;
1. Development of hybrid machine. This project is under Prototyping Research Grant Scheme sponsored by Ministry of Higher Education. The grant for 2 years and aim to developed a prototype that can solve issues in hole making on composite panel such as incomplete shearing and delamination.
2. Wire arc additive manufacturing. This is new project running in the lab. Alfa version of a 3D semi-automatic MIG welding machine was developed and now under testing for their performance and reliability. The machine was fabricated using modular approach and this allow for parts reconfigurability. Few welding paramaters and deposition parameters are now being tested. In addition, manual 3D welding also performed as shown in the figure below.
3. Friction stir welding. We have 3 PhD students on this project. We are focusing on formability issues of the welded blanks from similar and dissimilar metal.
We are also seeking any collaborators for research from academia and industries. We are also find any possibility and opportunity in enhancement of our machines.

It is a great honor to deliver a speech as invited speaker at ICAPS 2021. Thank you to the organizer that invite to give the speech on Pecision Hole Making on Composite - An Alternative. It is part of me and my team discoveries from few grants obtained i.e. USM (Research University Grant and Bridging Grant) and MOE (PRGS). Thank you to my students for their hardwork, which start back in 2014 involving final year projects (Chan, Nurul, Sofea, Syakir and Najalina) and Master (Safie). Alhamdulillah
