Personal Details:
Profile:
A dynamic career spanning more than twenty-seven years in the field of metallurgical
engineering consisting of industrial production of metals and alloys, teaching, research
and development in various organizations. Started my career in Silicon Steel Mill of
Rourkela Steel plant, moved on to ABB, Vadodara at their Corporate R & D Centre and
then taught at College of Military Engineering, Pune on a DRDO posting. For the past
eighteen years, have been associated with Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory,
Hyderabad, India, involved in research & development of titanium alloys. Was awarded
the ‘DRDO Agni Award’ (Team award) for self-reliance in 2007.
Actively involved in:
o In Rourkela steel plant, I was involved in industrial production of silicon steels for
electrical application. This rich industrial experience helped me to learn the
nuances of secondary processing (annealing, pickling, cold rolling, coating as
well as packaging) of a sophisticated cold rolled non-oriented (CRNO) and cold
rolled grain oriented (CRGO) steels.
o At Nippon Denro Ispat Ltd., I was involved in industrial production of steel sheets.
o Processing, physical and mechanical metallurgy of titanium alloys.

2. o The execution of several projects pertaining to scientific and technological
requirements of DRDO in the field of titanium alloys has enriched my industrial
knowledge. This involved designing and execution of entire processing schedule
of the alloys and then overseeing it’s production and manufacturing in Mishra
Dhatu Nigam Ltd. (MIDHANI). This has equipped me with real industrial
experience in both melting and processing (forging, rolling and testing of alloys)
of sophisticated metals.
o I have also set up a metallurgical laboratory in the group that is equipped with
automatic polishing equipment along with other supporting instruments and a
micro-hardness tester.
o As post-doctoral fellow at The Ohio State University, worked with Prof J.C.
Williams, the world-renowned expert on Titanium Alloys on a Federal Aviation
Administration, USA funded project. It involved the study of the cold dwell fatigue
problem in ‘near alpha titanium alloys’ used in aircraft engines. Professor Jim
Williams was the Honda chair Professor at that time. Prior to that he was General
Manager at GE, USA. He also served as Dean and Professor at Carnegie Melon
Institute. The project review meetings of the FAA funded project in which our
team was working, used to be attended by representatives of the various aero-
engines companies of the world viz. Rolls Royce, Pratt and Whitney, GE and
others.
o ISO certification at DMRL
o Review papers of national and international journals like Journal of Materials and
Design, Metallurgical and Materials Transaction and Transaction of Indian
Institute of Metals as well as project proposals of various organisations.
o Collaborate with academic and research institutes viz. IISc Bangalore, IIT
Kharagpur, IIT Chennai, IIT Bombay, NIT Warangal, BITS Pilani, Hyderabad etc.
Have extensive hands-on experience with following key metal processing and
characterization equipments related to production, testing and materials research.
o Vacuum arc melting
o Forging press and rolling
o Titanium alloy processing and characterization
o Tensile testing
o Fracture toughness and Fatigue testing
o Optical microscope
o Scanning electron microscope and Orientation imaging microscopy
o Electron Probe microanalysis
o X-ray Diffraction
Written several technical papers in international journals. Made several presentations in
national and international seminars.
