D. Tech. Department of Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering. / Studies the electrochemical and tribological behaviour of synthesized duplex stainless steels produced by high pressure high temperature (HPHT) sintering technique. This aim will be achieved through the following objectives: Understand the mechanisms by which HTHP sintering enhance the synthesis of Duplex stainless steel composites from different feedstock powders. Investigate the effects of feedstock composition and HTHP sintering parameters on their microstructure, composition and phases generated. Assess the electrochemical behaviour of the oxide dispersion strengthened steel (ODS) in varying media using potentiodynamic polarization scans. Study the wear behaviour to understand the effect of the partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ) on the mechanical properties of the composite. Explore corroborative technique for studying corrosion and wear damages on ODS steels.
