GPA: 15.06/20
During my academic tenure at Amirkabir University of Technology undertook a research project to investigate the influence of aluminum content on the formation of alloy layers and the thickness of coatings in the hot-dip galvanization process. The objective was to understand how varying aluminum concentrations affect the properties and performance of galvanized coatings, with implications for corrosion resistance and coating quality.
Key Responsibilities and Accomplishments:
Designed and executed a series of experiments to evaluate the impact of different aluminum concentrations in the galvanizing bath on alloy layer formation and coating thickness.
Prepared test specimens by carefully controlling the aluminum content in the galvanizing bath and subjecting them to the hot-dip galvanization process.
Utilized characterization techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) to analyze the resulting coatings.
Quantitatively measured and analyzed the thickness of the galvanized coatings, as well as the composition and distribution of alloy layers formed.
Drew correlations between the aluminum content in the galvanizing bath, the resulting alloy layer composition, and the overall coating thickness.
Presented research findings at academic conferences and published results in relevant journals.
