- Biography
Dr. Khan is currently a postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Michigan at the department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences. He is continuing to work in the same lab with his advisor who was previously faculty at Texas A&M University. His current work area includes Material development and testing in extreme environment for nuclear and solar power technologies such as molten salts at high temperatures and purification of salts .
Prior to postdoc he spent few months as Visiting Researcher at North Carolina State University where he worked on cold sprayed metallic coating on commercial Magnesium alloys for improved wear and corrosion resistance.
He received hi Ph.D. in Chemical and Corrosion Engineering from the University of Akron in 2020. His Ph.D. work involved development of nanocrystalline Magnesium alloys with high hardness and corrosion resistant for light weight applications. However apart from PhD work he had industrial collaboration for corrosion testing of cold sprayed metallic coatings.
He completed his bachelors Metallurgical Engineering from National Institute of Technology Raipur and masters from Indian Institute of Technology Bombay in Corrosion Science and Engineering. After masters he continued at the same institute as Senior Research Fellow where he worked on Stress Corrosion Cracking and hot salt stress corrosion cracking, corrosion testing for industrial consulting service and polymer coating additive modification for improved corrosion resistance.

The conversion of preceramic polymers to ceramics normally requires multiple processing steps such as curing, pyrolysis, and crystallization, which can be time and energy‐consuming. Herein, one‐step rapid synthesis of cubic silicon carbide (β‐SiC) by laser‐assisted pyrolysis and crystallization of molten polycarbosilane (PCS) is shown. The resulting product is termed as “LISiC” (laser‐induced silicon carbide). It is demonstrated that repeated polymer infiltration and lasing can be used to make dense LISiC and SiC‐LISiC coatings, which are stable up to 1073 K in air. It was also demonstrated that LISiC can be patterned on various substrates such as copper, steel, aluminum, and silicon wafer with a rate of 3 cm2 min−1. Finally, it is found that the dense LISiC coatings rapidly heat up in response to radio frequency (RF) fields, which would enable out‐of‐oven manufacturing of SiC‐based composites, micro‐heaters, and efficient chemical synthesis in reactors employing SiC‐based catalyst supports. |

"Corrosion Behavior and Hardness of Binary Mg Alloys Produced via High-Energy Ball-Milling and Subsequent Spark Plasma Sintering"

In this work, nine nanocrystalline binary Mg alloys were synthesized by high-energy ball milling. The compositions, Mg-5 wt% M (M-Cr, Ge, Mn, Mo, Ta, Ti, V, Y, and Zn), were milled with the objective of achieving non-equilibrium alloying. The milled alloys were consolidated via cold compaction (CC) at 25°C and spark plasma sintering (SPS) at 300°C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated grain refinement below 100 nm, and the scanning electron microscopy revealed homogeneous microstructures for all compositions. XRD analysis revealed that most of the alloys showed a change in the lattice parameter, which indicates the formation of a solid solution. A significant increase in the hardness compared to unmilled Mg was observed for all of the alloys. The corrosion behavior was improved in all of the binary alloys compared to milled Mg. A significant decrease in the cathodic kinetics was evident due to Ge and Zn additions. The influence of the alloying elements on corrosion behavior has been categorized and discussed based on the electrochemical response of their respective binary Mg alloys. |

In this study, a compact cold sprayed (CS) Ti coating was deposited on Mg alloy using a high pressure cold spray (HPCS) system. The wear and corrosion behavior of the CS Ti coating was compared with that of CS Al coating and bare Mg alloy. The Ti coating yielded lower wear rate compared to Al coating and Mg alloy. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic potentiodynamic polarization (CPP) tests revealed that CS Ti coating can substantially reduce corrosion rate of AZ31B in chloride containing solutions compared to CS Al coating. Interestingly, Ti-coated Mg alloy demonstrated negative hysteresis loop, depicting repassivation of pits, in contrast to AZ31B and Al-coated AZ31B with positive hysteresis loops where corrosion potential (Ecorr) > repassivation potential (Erp); indicating irreversible growth of pits. AZ31B and Al-coated AZ31B were most susceptible to pitting corrosion, while Ti-coated Mg alloy indicated noticeable resistance to pitting in 3.5 wt % NaCl solution. In comparison to Al coating, Ti coating considerably separated the AZ31BMg alloy surface from the corrosive electrolyte during long term immersion test for 11 days. |
