  • Microstructural characterization and fatigue performance of dissimilar aluminum alloy on friction stir welded joint in corrosive environments

Postdoctoral Research Associate

University of Pittsburgh
06.2014 - 02.2015
  • Conducted high-temperature corrosion testing and analyses for alumina-scale forming alloys in sulfur-containing environments.
  • Investigated the effect of multi-sulfate deposits on type II (i.e., low temperature) hot corrosion of alumina-scale forming alloys.
  • Found that the mode of corrosion changes when 2.5 ppm SO2 is added to the oxidizing atmosphere, but maximum metal attack depth is essentially unchanged.
