* Leadership in identifying, characterizing analyzing the root cause of T130 Combustion

hardware failures, helped changing the injector design fundamentals

and design manuals to incorporate more durable materials for injectors.

* Leadership in identifying and characterizing the root cause of Mars Gas Only injectors fuel

leakage and high SoLoNOx rating. Developed Brazing solution to eliminate leakage with

improved injector resulting 2.5Million dollar cost saving and customer satisfaction.

* Developed patentable new Gold Brazing alloy with promising injector application for

enhanced corrosion, fatigue and sealing properties with higher producibility and SoLoNOx.

* Played Key Contributor role in identifying the root causes and solutions for Compressor and

Turbine shaft, cones, Hubs cracking, Tie bolt Nuts jamming, in a shortest time. Potential

savings from the trouble shooting is multi millions of dollar in terms of Engine build delays

and cost avoidance due to potential premature field failures.

* Leadership role in identifying and applying two promising high temperature corrosion

resistant superalloys for injector tip and combustor application. Identified and characterized

better fatigue and stress corrosion resistant disk, spacer, shaft, cone, hub materials.
