RELATED EXPERIENCE:

Jr. Metallurgical Engineer (Quality Control) Dec 2014 - Present

Commercial Spring And Tool Company Ltd- Mississauga, ON

Working in Automotive company (Leading automotive parts supplier for GM, Chrysler, Ford)

Working on Austempering furnace and coating line. (Automotive Standard AIAG CQI-9 and CQI-12)

Perform Hardness test, J-impact test, Dial torque wrenches test, Coating test(viscosity, solid content, thickness measurement) and furnace/generator atmosphere analysis and Shim test

Ensure products and processes are in compliance with Customer specific requirements

Working to continuous improvement with product team to reduce internal and external quality issues. (Increased 25%of total production by setting up the furnace parameters with the help of Iron-carbon diagram, thermal conductivity of steel and chemical composition, reduced corrosion problem by adjusting the furnace atmosphere with proper air, natural gas and endo gas ratio)

Inspect the parts during receiving, heat treating, tumbling, washing, coating and shipping process for any damaged or deformed condition.

Program the furnace software for to get the desired property according to customers requirement.(i.e. Furnace temperature/atmosphere, Salt bath temperature, belt speed in austempering furnace, ).

Perform metallography and Conduct microstructure investigation of different heat treated materials and measure case depth and decarburization.

Perform daily, weekly and monthly verification of Hardness testing machine, microscope, Gas analyzer, furnace thermocouples and furnace atmosphere.

Find the solutions to problems by discussing with quality manager and other staff;

Assisting quality manager in preparing PPAP, PFMEA, CQI-9 audit, SPC, Control Plan, Flow Chart, 8D, customer complaints and other inspection documents

Make work instruction for new parts and provides Work Instructions, Procedures, Operator Instructions, Quality alerts and feedback to floor.

Quality Control Engineer Dec 2012 - April 2013

AHMEDABAD STRIPS PVT LTD-AHMEDABAD, INDIA

Examined the macrostructure and microstructure of various grades of annealed steel. This is carried out by proper sample preparation, results interpretation and also setting the cycle of heat treatment to get required microstructure. (i.e. percentage of spheroidization).

Harishkumar Suthar Page2

Conducted microstructure investigation of different materials before and after heat treatment.

Worked on modification of process to improve the quality of steel and further eliminates the rejection by failure analysis.

Operated Metallurgical Plus software to calculate grain size and spherodisation.

Calculated the iron, oil and chloride content of rolling mill coolant to get good surface finish of rolled steel.

Performed tensile test, impact test and hardness test for determining the behavior rolled steel at the different stage.

Performed various test for QA/QC document such as to check chemical composition.

Addressed rolled sheet, heat treatment, machined or finished product issues in company and at customer's company.

Junior Metallurgical Engineer Oct 2011 - July 2012

SREEJI INDUSTRIES PVT LTD-AHMEDABAD, INDIA

Verified and adjusted alloy melt chemistries for each induction furnace prior to melting and during melting to meet customer requirements and to get a required property of grey cast iron and nodular cast iron.

Estimated weight of casting to be made.

Set the location of runner and riser to get sound casting

verified the casting quality in every aspect: casting defects, failure analysis

Monitored customer rejection and provided metallurgical technical support at customers request

OTHER EXPERIENCE:

B.E Project Intern: Jan 2011 - June 2011

FCIPT links with Institute for Plasma Research (IPR)- Gandhinagar, India

Bachelor project was Hot Dip Aluminize Coating on 9% Cr 1% Mo steel and its characterization.

Based on aluminizing of steel for high temperature application, resulting in improved wear and corrosion resistance. Also, investigated the morphology of the interface between the aluminum coating and steel substrate.
