Dr. Carl D. Lundin
Professor of Metallurgy
Ph.D, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute: Materials Science and Engineering-Welding Solidification and Welding Metallurgy.
Brief Bio
Dr. Lundin obtained his bachelor’s degree in Materials Science and Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in 1957 and his Ph.D from RPI in 1966 after 3 years in the US Navy. Hs dissertation included fundamental studies of weld metal solidification and the development of a hot cracking test (Varestraint) that is used world-wide for basic weld cracking studies. Dr. Lundin has taught metallurgy, materials science and materials joining at the college level for more than 38 years. Dr. Lundin joined the faculty at Rensselaer in 1966 and came to the University of Tennessee in 1968 to establish a Materials Joining Laboratory. His research has been recognized the world over and he has been an active industrial consultant for 38 years with recognized expertise in failure analysis serving government agencies and the private sector. Dr. Lundin has authored or co-authored over 210 technical papers, numerous reports and has graduated 15 Ph.D’s and 25 Masters students. Dr. Lundin has lectured internationally and is a visiting professor at several institutions. Dr. Lundin has served many technical organizations such as the Welding Research Council and Materials Properties Council for over 30 years. Dr. Lundin has been recognized by his peers, by his election to fellow status in the American Society for Materials and the American Welding Society. Dr. Lundin continues his research with current interest in materials used in elevated temperature service for the steam power industry and the chemical and petroleum sector.
