André Chicoski Email & Phone Number

Brazilian Mechanical Engineer, MEng. in Manufacturing Engineering, specialist in Welding Engineering and MBA in Project Management, experienced in the following areas:IndustryProcess Engineering - Manufacturing of hydraulic turbines. Guide the manufacturing areas and support product engineering, start-up and sales teams for process related issues.Research, Development and Innovation (RD&I)Projects applied for power generation and oil & gas industry, aiming for higher energy efficiency and reduction of maintenance costs by application of better materials, thermal spray coatings and improved repair procedures. Some of the projects I worked are listed below:- Development of techniques of robotic thermal spray coating deposition for reducing the cavitation and erosion wear in hydraulic turbines;- Study and development of automated systems for deposition of aluminum coatings by thermal spray, applied for shipyards and offshore platforms ;- Development of high technology process and repair methodology for hot section gas turbine components;- Development of high temperature resistant alloys/coatings applied by automated thermal spray processes;- Development of cavitation-resistant alloys and welding repair procedures for cracks and cavitation wear in ASTM A743 CA6NM hydraulic turbines.Technical ServicesField activities for equipment inspection (pressure vessels, pipelines, metallic structures, etc.) and coordination of welding repair services, especially in hydroelectric and thermal power plants. Also, I have lab tasks, for example, metallurgical analysis, failure analysis and testing end evaluation of weldments and coatings.TeachingInstructor of Welding Inspector Course (level 1), according to FBTS (Brazilian Foundation of Welding Technology), teaching the subjects Metallurgy and Welding Processes.

Listed skills include R&D, Solidworks, Welding, Metallurgy, and 22 others.
