HI THERE! I’M GAURAV SINGH
Research Scholar, Department of Engineering Design, IIT Madras
ABOUT ME
Studying the Processing - Microstructure - Property Correlations in Zirconium Alloy (Zr-4). The ongoing work highlights to the strengthened Zircaloy-4 without compromising the ductility through Swaging process. The microstructural insights were characterized with the help of high-resolution microscopic techniques, such as Transmission & Scanning Electron Microscopy. These studies were tandem with Finite Elements Analysis (FEA) by using advanced Deform 3D and other FEA solutions.
Currently pursuing the Doctorate from the Department of Engineering Design, Indian Institute of Technology Madras (Chennai, INDIA). I have done the Master of Technology in Metallurgical and Materials Science Engineering from IIT Roorkee (INDIA) and RWTH Aachen University (Germany). Bachelor of Technology in Materials Science and Metallurgical Engineering, UIET Kanpur (INDIA).
