Kaustubh Rane, Michael Beining (PhD student, Materials Science), Swaroop Behera (PhD student, Materials Science) Amir Kordijazi and Pradeep Rohatgi authored a paper that describes a new process of surface alloying to conserve critical alloying elements; the 51ÁÔÆæ Research Foundation has since licensed this process to Watts Water Technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paper title: Sand Casting of Surface-Alloyed Butterfly Valve with Improved Hardness and Corrosion Resistance by Incorporating Metal Powders in Mold Coatings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three of the authors received their awards at a volunteer awards luncheon. (Pictured L-R: Ullberg, Rane, Behera.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It has been wonderful to see 51ÁÔÆæ students\u2014who are doing foundry research\u2014excel and win national awards,\u201d Rohatgi says. Rohatgi has received numerous awards for research excellence from the AFS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
