Development, optimization, and implementation of manufacturing processes- R&D and Process control- Heat treatment- Aluminium brazing

Quebec, Canada

-Evaluation of the tribological performance of copper-based composites (YAW brake pad)-Launched sinter-brazing instead of a two-step process (sintering followed by brazing) to join brake pad to the wrought steel substrate-Optimized the heat treatment cycle to increase the shear strength of sinter-brazed joints-Created a finite element model that predicted the infiltration depth of liquid braze metal in porous materials with a 5% error (ANSYS Fluent(CFD))-Resolved the excessive infiltration of liquid braze metal by modifying the composition-Achieved the company's financial objectives by continuous improvement of sinter-brazing process-Decreased production costs up to 30% while maintaining the mechanical properties of products

Quebec, Canada

Doing research in collaboration with Institut de recherche d'Hydro-Québec (IREQ) and Wartsila Inc.- Designed, optimized and fabricated a novel intermetallic composite reinforced with two length-scalesceramic particles- Increased the production rate of intermetallic composite powders by more than 40% through com-bustion synthesis and atomization instead of mechanical alloying- Improved the wear resistance of turbine shafts by HVOF coatings using composite powders- Enhanced the wear resistance of turbine shaft coatings up to 75% by adding different ceramic particles

-Increased the production rate of intermetallic composite powders by more than 40% through combustion synthesis instead of mechanical alloying-Improved the wear resistance of turbine shafts by HVOF coatings using composite powders-Created a novel metal matrix composite reinforced with two-length scale ceramic particles-Enhanced the wear resistance of composite coatings by 32% using two length-scales ceramic particles

-Managed multiple projects at a given time -Ensured welds meet the quality requirements of AWS D1.6, API 1104, and ASME Section IX-Created the procedure qualification record (PQR) and the Welding procedure specification (WPS)-Conducted metallurgical failure analysis and root cause failure analysis of weld-joints -Suggested recommendations for corrective and preventative actions-Designed new and effective ways to improve the quality of the product while reducing the downturn

Tehran, Iran

- Coordinated with a team of engineers to develop a Scanning Hardness Machine- Hardness mapping technique was employed to investigate the microstructure and mechanical properties of steels
