About the Instructor
Ms. Shweta Shukla is a PhD student of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering, IIT Bombay with an experience of around 1.5 years as a researcher in R&D, Tata Steel Ltd., Jamshedpur.
Currently, she is working on hydrogen embrittlement and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behavior of aerospace aluminum alloys. During her Tata steel tenure, she has handled major projects related to Aluminum aerospace selective oxidation (modelling), defects and annealing furnaces of galvanizing
line. She has hands-on experience on equipments like Glow Discharge Optical Emission Spectroscopy, Contact angle Instrument, Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope, Multichannel Potentiostat, Slow strain rate UTS machine, Scanning electron microscope, Differential Scanning Calorimetry, thermogravimetric analyzer and software like Thermocalc –Dictra, Prisma and Factsage, Rosetta, Matlab. She has also taken courses on some modeling subjects during my PhD – phase field modeling, Molecular Simulations and density functional theory.
About the Topic
Additive manufacturing / 3-D printing is a new platform for alloy making. However it is rarely evaluated for its corrosion properties. The project mainly involves reviewing the literatures and comparing the same with conventionally formed materials.
