- Performed qualification testing of materials critical to thermostability and green strength of alumina ceramic bodies. Involved developing method to simulate spray-dried powder in a lab-scale setting to replicate final properties. Assessed materials based on on-set temperature, green strength via Instron, and effect on powder/fired chemistry.- Piloted finished goods characterization release specifications of tap density and elevated temperature green strength in collaboration and alignment with an international production facility.- Conducted study on PEG binder system to establish a more effective criteria of raw material release to improve overall quality control and green performance of ceramic powders in production facilities.- Collaborated with operators to provide support testing in a contamination investigation of Fe in silicon nitride bodies.- Overall established strong understand of ceramic processing including dry ball milling, wet ball milling, calcining, spray drying, raw material characterization, and finished good characterization.- Obeyed all ITAR applicable regulations.
