Advanced Metallic Materials Group: Designed and processed new alloys using Vacuum Arc Melting, LENS(TM) near-net shaping based additive manufacturing technique, and Sparka Plasma Sintering (SPS). Studied the mechanical behavior of metals using mechanical testing methods and characterized their behavior using scanning electron microscopy including EBSD, and transmission electron microscopy. ALLMII-LIFT: Worked on understanding the effect of inertia friction welding on the microstructure of commercial titanium alloys using scanning electron microscopy including EBSD, and transmission electron microscopy, 3-d atom probe tomography, and mechanical testing.
