Hard Skills
AdvancedMicrostructure AnalysisThe examination of the internal physical structure of metals and alloys using optical, scanning electron, or transmission electron microscopy.
ExpertFailure AnalysisA systematic investigation into the root cause of component failure, identifying mechanisms such as fatigue, corrosion, or stress-corrosion cracking.
AdvancedHeat Treatment DesignThe specification and control of thermal cycles to manipulate the phase transformations and mechanical properties of metals.
AdvancedX-ray Diffraction (XRD) InterpretationThe use of X-ray radiation to identify crystalline phases, lattice parameters, and residual stresses within a metal sample.
IntermediateMechanical Testing ProceduresThe execution and analysis of standardized tests such as tensile, Charpy impact, and Vickers hardness testing according to ISO/ASTM standards.
