Research Experience
| Research Interests : | Physical Metallurgy, Corrosion Engineering, Nanoparticle synthesis, Surface Engineering | |
| Brief Research Statement : | 1. Surface engineering of metals and alloy: The main focus is the corrosion protection of the metals and alloys by protective coatings. It includes chemical conversion coatings, dip coatings and electrodeposition techniques to deposit coatings on the surface of metals and alloys for the application of biomedical, electronic packaging, automobile and space industry. 2. Severe Plastic Deformation: Friction Stir Process (FSP) is utilized to enhance the mechanical and tribological properties of the metallic surface without altering the bulk property, load-bearing capability. Carbonaceous materials, such as carbon nanotubes, graphene and graphite were effectively reinforced with minimal damages into the surface by FSP for the preparation of the engineered surface. 3. Composite materials: Preparation of metal matrix composites (MMCs) and polymer matrix composites (PMCs). Metals and alloys were coated with Ni-ceramic composites using the co-deposition method to form a multi-functional layer. Also, developing the natural fibres/whiskers reinforced PMCs. |
