Project Title: Inter Granular Corrosion of Stainless Steels.

Client: Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee.

Employment Type: Full-Time Duration: Jun 2005 - Jul 2005

Project Location: Atomic Fuels Division, BARC. Site: Offsite

Role: Other Team Size: 4

Skill Used: Microscopic Examination, Heat treatments, IGC Practice A of ASTM - A-262, etc.

Role Description: I was one of the guides for the project.

Project Details: 2 nos of IIT Second year B.Tech. students of Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, Mr.G.Karthik and

Mr.Hemant Kumar were deputed to Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai, for carrying out a Project as an academic

requirement. The students were allotted a Project on Intergranular corrosion of Stainless Steels.

Heat Treatments and Experiments:

Austenitic Stainless Steel samples were solution annealed at 1050 C for 1 hour and the samples were sensitized at various

temperatures within the temperature range 425 C to 800 C for various exposure times. The sensitized samples were subjected to

Pr.A of ASTM A 262 and the resultant microstructure was microscopically examined and results were recorded.

Reporting:

A report was prepared for presentation to IIT.
