Metallurgy is the principal study of the Byoungchul Hwang research group. Research interests include the microstructure and mechanical properties of advanced metallic materials with particular emphasis on the fundamentals of deformation and fracture behaviors; development of novel high- and medium-manganese steels for cryogenic applications; strain-based design of high-strength API linepipe steels & earthquake resisting reinforced steel bars; hydrogen embrittlement and applications of metallic materials; engineering strength and toughness into advanced metallic materials; and computational materials science & engineering.
