Research Interest

Research Interest AREA OF SPECIALIZATION: Materials Science and Technology Mechanical behaviour of materials at ambient, high and low temperature under slow and nominal strain rate. Effect of material chemistry, microstructure, cold work, temperature, prior deformation etc. on the mechanical behaviour of metals, alloys, composites (metal-matrix and ceramic matrix composites). Residual life estimation by measuring the degraded properties of materials including non-destructive characterization of material properties including composites. High temperature oxidation of metals and alloys, effect of rare earth element additions, use of oxide scale thickness in residual life assessment of materials operating at high temperatures. Friction and wear properties of metals, alloys, ceramics and composites. Thermal Barrier coatings development for high temperature alloys and their life cycle assessment.
