Research Experience

Iowa State University Ames, IA

Master’s Research-2 Jan 2015 - July 2015

Performed research to study cold-spray as a method for repair of casting porosity discovered after final machining.

Performed metallographic and hardness tests (Rockwell & Brinell) on the samples and gained exposure to ASTM standards.

Repaired the casting defects using cold-spray technique and characterized the repaired samples to use cold-spray as a lower cost alternative to weld repair.
