Corrosion/Materials Engineer

As a recent graduate of the University of Manchester, I am looking forward to join a reputed organization and to be part of a highly motivated team of professionals wherein I have an opportunity to help the organization achieve its goals.

University of Manchester
Investigation of Corrosion Behaviour of Friction Stir Welded Aluminium 7050-T7651 Project Supervisor: Prof. George Thompson
Description: Investigation of the corrosion and electrochemical behavior of the FSW welded aluminium alloy and its effect on the microstructure by immersing it in an EXCO solution (following the ASTM G34 01 specifications). The electrochemical measurements were carried out on the welds in both aerated and de-aerated conditions and the corrosion morphology of the two welds produced at different speeds were studied by techniques such as optical microscopy and SEM + BSE imaging. Optical interferometry was performed on the welds to measure the average surface roughness and surface parameters. In order to evaluate the corrosion control performance of the welds and the parent alloy, they were anodized which showed the dissolution of the intermetallic phases.

Corrosion Study on Condensate Pipeline
Description: Studied the relationship between erosion-corrosion and fluid flow rate and related it with the integrity and reliability of pipeline using NORSOK.

VIT University
Friction Stir Welding of Dissimilar Metals
Description: Evaluated friction stir welds of AA 6063 aluminium alloy and commercially pure copper, which focused on the welding parameters of the mechanical and metallurgical properties of the weld. A separate investigation of the effect of the pin profile on the weld was also carried out on the friction stir welded aluminium alloys to find out the relationship between the pin profile and the power consumption and its influence on the quality of the welds produced.
