Professor Chun Eunjoon of Pukyong National University Selected for Cheoram Paper Award

Korean Welding and Joining Society Conference

Professor Chun Eunjun (Department of Advanced Materials System Engineering) at Pukyong National University has been selected as the recipient of the 'Cheolam Paper Award' from the Korean Welding and Joining Society for his outstanding research achievements.

Professor Cheon Eunjun.

Professor Chun Eunjun received this award at the Korean Welding and Joining Society Spring Conference held recently at EXCO in Daegu, for his paper titled "A Method to Reduce Solidification Crack Susceptibility in Welds of 247LC Superalloy for Gas Turbines by Applying Commercial Nickel-based Filler Metal."

The Cheolam Paper Award is presented through a fund donated by a former president of the Korean Welding and Joining Society. Since 1993, one outstanding early-career researcher has been selected each year to receive this award.

Professor Chun has published over 60 SCI and related academic papers in the fields of welding metallurgy of special metals with poor weldability and 3D printing, continuing his active research endeavors.

In particular, he has been recognized for his excellent research achievements by consecutively receiving prestigious domestic and international awards such as the Henry Granjon Prize from the International Institute of Welding (IIW), the William Spraragen Memorial Award from the American Welding Society (AWS), and the Science and Technology Excellent Paper Award from the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies.

He is currently actively engaged in research and external activities in welding metallurgy, 3D printing materials, and process technology required for the localization of superalloy components for power generation and aviation gas turbines, and next-generation nuclear reactors, which are core national future strategy technologies.
