PROFILE
M.Sc. in Metallurgical Engineering with 3 Years of Academic and Industrial Research Experience
Profound Experience in Failure Analysis, Tensile, Charpy Impact, Hardness Tests and Metallogrphy
Expertise in Material Characterization Techniques: SEM, TEM, XRD, EDS and Optical Microscopy
Profound Experience in Strain Data Acquisition and Analysis of Metal Forming tests by DIC Technique
Professional in Performing Various Material Tests, Metallurgical Analysis and Reporting Findings EXPERIENCE
Research and Development Engineer Intern August 2015-November 2015 ArcelorMittal, East Chicago, IN, 46312
Generated the data base for commercially produced high strength sheet steels for automotive customers
Managed the timeframe, sample preparation in the forming test group and conducted LDH formability tests
Learned and applied Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique to obtain strain data in a limited timeframe
Detected incipient necking occurrence on the metal surface by both mathematic and mechanics criterions
Performed data acquisition and analysis to draw forming limit curve (FLC) for customers using Vic-3D Graduate Research and Teaching Assistant September 2011-March 2015 Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO. 80401
Thesis: Effects of Deformation Modes on the Susceptibility of Delayed Fracture of AHSS
This is a deeper analysis on mechanical behaviors of steel in stamping process from metallurgical perspective.
Developed a method to evaluate the delayed fracture sensitivity of advanced high strength sheet steels.
Readjusted the test methodology and experimental setup after a series of undesired preliminary results.
Key parameters were also refined and determined by applying more detailed computation and analysis.
Fracture surfaces and crack patterns were analyzed by SEM and optical microscope by failure analysis.
The details of crack were related with martensite, retained austenite, ferrite and carbides in microstructure
Presented results, findings and discussed future plans with industrial mentors at semi-annual sponsor meetings Research and Development Engineer Intern June 2013-August 2013 ArcelorMittal, East Chicago, IN, 46312
Material characterization: obtained base data and developed treatment techniques for a hydrogen study
Developed a treatment technique which reduced failed test rate for tensile test and saved time and cost
Conducted tensile tests and obtained the YS, UTS, UE and TE changes as a function of steel grade levels
Performed failure analysis by SEM to address automotive customers' issues regarding to steel quality
Self-motivated to learn and schedule thermal desorption analysis (TDA) in a teamwork atmosphere Mechanical Engineer Student (Co-op) September 2010-December 2010 Windsor Essex Community Housing Corporation, Windsor, ON, Canada
Worked with contractors, vendors, engineers and lawyers
Familiar with select technical documentation formats: Request for Quotation, Request for Proposal, Tenders
Effectively managed multiple projects in a fast-paced environment
Familiar with pinpoints and arrangement in attending meetings and site visitations SU LIU
