1) In,estigated the effect of Yttria Alumina Garnet Additi n n !intered P"M #16$ and %#%$ &tainle!! &teel under the guidance of Dr./.Upadhyaya $I.I.T.Kanpur*. Stainless steels produced -y po#der metallurgical processing are #idely used for automoti,e applications. 79M stainless steels consolidated through solid%state sintering contain porosity. The o+ide and car-ide dispersion that is done to enhance the #ear%resistance further reduces densification during sintering and degrades -oth the mechanical properties and #ear%resistance. This study aimed at enhancing the sintera-ility of o+ide dispersed stainless steel composites -y supersolidus sintering and composition modification through alloying additi,es. 2) In,estigated the e''ect ' !interin( tem)erature n the P re &i*e M r)h l (y in the +e,2Cu, 0-9C all y! under the guidance of Dr. /. Upadhyaya $I.I.T.Kanpur*. 7ores are an intrinsic property of all the con,entional sintered po#der metallurgy products and play an important role in defining the mechanical properties of materials. Microstructural defects, especially, porosity #ith irregular morphology acts as a stress concentrator. This study #as implemented to determine ho# different sintering temperatures influence the pore morphology. Different stereological parameters #ere determined through image analysis to 8uantify the morphological change #ith temperature. #) :or ed on a pro!ect for 0rompton ;rea,es 4td that re8uired the study and analysis of the Chr mium,C ))er all y! u!ed in Vaccum .nterru)ter!/ under Dr. /. Upadhyaya $I.I.T.Kanpur*. 0rompton ;rea,es 4td. has an esta-lished technology for processing of 0r%0u contact< ho#e,er, it is proposed to reduce the failure pro-a-ility of the contacts during high ,oltage operation $through spar ing9arc damage*.
