Mr Sri Saran Gunasekaran
PhD Student

Summary

I joined BCAST as a Doctoral Researcher in January 2024, after completing my Bachelor's degree in Metallurgical Engineering in 2017 and earning my MSc in Advanced Engineering Materials from the University of Manchester, UK, in 2023. My Master's project was focused on the thermomechanical processing of Zirconium alloys for nuclear applications. My PhD research focuses on the use of the Gleeble Thermomechanical Simulation system to replicate the extrusion processing of high-strength Al 6xxx alloys. The ultimate goal is to understand the development of sub-structure during different deformation paths and how these contribute to the development of final property profile.
