RESEARCH

Illinois Institute of Technology, High temperature structural materials lab Chicago, IL Research on Fe-Cr-Ni high temperature alloys Dec 2017 – Present

• Performed etchant as FeCl2 and phosphate for metallography to figure out best etchant for different samples

• Observed precipitates morphology evolution by Optical/SEM results for as-cast, heat treated and tensile test samples

• Characterized these phase evolutions by XRD, EDS, and thermo-calc simulation (M7C3 to M23C6, NbC to G-phase)

• Explored microstructure changes influence on mechanical properties (hardness and tensile test)

• Summarized phase evolution results to find the best service temperature for these alloys which can eliminate damage phases (G-phase, carburization damage phase Cr23C6) and form strengthen phase (NbC phase) to improve high temperature properties

Hefei University of Technology, Hefei, China

National–Local Joint Engineering Research Centre of Nonferrous Metals and Processing Technology Research and assist on fusion reactor first wall W-base alloys Jul 2016 - Jun 2017

• Adapted ball mill time to prepare different size nanometer tungsten and micro-titanium hydride powder

• Explored sintered composite materials’ density and hardness influenced by ball mill time

• Characterized sintered bulk materials by FE-SEM, SEM, EDS, XRD and TEM.

• Performed heat shock experiment to interpret that 60h ball milling can get the best thermal shock resistance
