EDUCATION

University of North Texas Denton, Texas

Bachelor of Science in Materials Science and Engineering Graduated: May 10, 2014

MTSE Senior Design Project

Elemental Blends of Sintered Titanium Powder

Researched gamma titanium aluminides using titanium Armstrong powder, which in previous

studies has shown to help reduce the cost of casting parts.

Homogenized various blends of Ti Armstrong, Al, and Fe fine grain powders based on binary and

ternary phase diagrams.

Conducted heat treatments to understand the morphology, microstructure, and the resultant

chemical composition relationship.

Utilized EDS scans to prove that Na was present in insignificant amounts and did not disrupt or

change the microstructure.

Analyzed experimental results and concluded that Ti Armstrong powder is a clean powder and can

be used in future applications.

EXPERIENCE

UNT Advanced Metallic Materials and Manufacturing Processes (AM3P) Laboratory Denton, Texas

Undergraduate Research Assistant August 2012-January 2014

Implemented metallurgy techniques to interpret titanium alloys.

Improved skills with optical microscopy, SEM, and the four standard powder metallurgy testing methods for Ti

alloy powders.

Engaged myself in a three man team in preparing 110 samples on a tight deadline for an industrial company.

Gained insight with the morphology of Ti Alloys (near Alpha, near Beta, and Alpha + Beta Alloys), the

microstructural changes under different heat treatments, and cooling processes.
