WORK EXPERIENCE
Intern, Case New Holland April. 2013 - Aug. 2013
ľ Evaluate alternate stripping solutions to replace original acid used in specification.
Results ¡V Reduced the cost of current used chemicals introducing an alternate method more efficient and more cost competitive. Reduced the labor and overhead, more environmental friendly
ľ Failure analysis and design evaluation for ductile cast iron containing carbides
Results ¡VIncreased the toughness and maintain the proper wear resistance.
Best combination of wear resistance and toughness for the ground engaging firming point
ľ Conducted wear test, chemical test , hardness test and measurements for torque coefficient (k-factor) of various coatings
Results ¡VDeveloped ideal torque coefficient -k-factor and standardized on appropriate coatings
ľ Developed Microstructure image database for different grades for steels
Intern, Commercial Forged Products, Chicago, IL Aug. 2012 - Dec. 2012
