Biography
Vivek Patel obtained the Ph.D. degree in the are of material processing. He has completed Master degree in Production engineering (Gold Medalist, 2012) from GTU and Bachelor degree in Mechanical engineering (2004) from Nirma Institute of Technology. He is having industrial experience of 1 year and teaching experience of 9 years.
Research Interest
Friction stir welding and processing of aluminum and magnesium alloys. The recent area includes hard machining using a hybrid approach.Currently, working in the field of Friction stir processing for grain refinement and consequently superplasticity enhancement for high strength aluminum alloy. He is also working in the area of Friction Stir Spot Welding (FSSW). Future work involves for fabrication of surface composites using friction stir processing and friction stir surfacing for improving tribological properties.
