New Research at the Center for Heat Treating Excellence
By MPI September 19, 2012
CHTE faculty and students are researching and working on a variety of interesting projects (precompetitive and fundamental) funded by industry members and the US Army. The Center performs basic and developmental research relevant to the industry. This academic year, research will be conducted on the following CHTE projects:
- Alloy Life Improvement
- Atmosphere vs. Vacuum Carburizing Fatigue Test Comparison
- Carbonitriding – Fundamentals, Modeling and Process Optimization
- Energy Savings Model
- Gas and Vacuum Carburizing
- Nitriding – Fundamentals, Modeling and Process Optimization
- Non-Destructive Testing for Hardness & Case Depth
- Thermomechanical Processing of Light Alloys by Design – Applications of Computational Thermodynamics
- For more information on all on-going and completed CHTE research projects, please visit our website.
WPI graduate students working on CHTE research are Luke Bassett, Aaron Birt, Danielle Belsito, Baillie McNally, Rose Roy, Yuan Yu, and Lei Zang.
Advising our students are WPI Profs. Richard Sisson, Jr. (Director of CHTE), Kevin Rong (CHTE), Diran Apelian (Director of MPI), and Mei Yang (Post-Doctoral Fellow).
