EXPERTISE AND SERVICES
Materials Science Engineer, Materials Processing Expert, Welding, Casting, Crystal Growth and Heat Treating Transport Phenomena Consultant, Specialist in Fluid Flow, Heat Transfer and Mass Transfer in Welding, Crystal Growth, Casting and Heat Treating, Expert Engineering Consulting ServicesExpertise in materials processing, welding, casting, crystal growth and heat treating transport phenomena, roles of fluid flow, heat transfer and mass transfer in welding, crystal growth, casting and heat treating.
Additional areas of experience and specialization include welding metallurgy, focusing on development and control of weld microstructure and defects, transport phenomena and materials processing, modeling and control of casting and welding processes, solidification and solidification cracking in fusion zone (cracking inside the weld), liquation, solidification and microsegregation in partially melted zone (resulting in severe loss of ductility and strength outside the weld along its edge even when no cracking occurs), liquation cracking in partially melted zone (cracking outside the weld along its edge), and friction-stir welding (liquation and cracking in the weld nugget).
This consultant also offers expertise in dissimilar-metal welding (welding Al to steel and Al to Mg to help reduce vehicle weight), transport phenomena in welding (fluid flow, heat transfer and mass transfer), crystal growth, macrosegregation along crystals and its elimination (growing crystals uniform in composition from starting to finishing end), transport phenomena in crystal growth, casting, hot tearing in castings (cracking during solidification), macrosegregation in castings (solute segregation across ingot diameter or along ingot), transport phenomena in casting, rapid solidification, heat treating, and thermodynamics
