Ing. Darshan Kare Gowda

As a research associate I worked on development and characterization of Thermoplastic polyurethane magneto sensitive elastomer. With M.Sc. in Advanced Functional Materials and bachelors in Mechanical Engineering, I have gained hands on experience in different mechanical, rheological and Metallographic characterization techniques. Microstructure characterization using MicroCT, SEM, EDX, EPMA, XRD and SKP instruments

Influence of ultrasound parameters on corrosion properties of Aluminium/Magnesium hybrid joints produced by ultrasound enhanced friction stir welding process - Investigated corrosion properties at the joints using electrochemical investigations - Measured Voltapotential plots using Scanning Kelvin Probe - Metallographic investigations - Intermetallic phase identification using XRD, SEM, EDX and EPMA instruments

Fabrication and investigation of influence of joining parameters on Aluminum-Steel and Aluminum-Magnesium hybrid joints produced by Friction stir welding and Ultrasound assisted friction stir welding process.

Characterization of 316L steel before and after low temperature carburization - Investigation of expanded austenite phase in a 316L steel subjected to industrial low temperature carburization process. - Characterization of the microstructure and tribological properties of the steel using Metrology, Metallographic and X-Ray Diffraction spectroscopic analysers
