Research projects experience
RFCS-funded DELIGHTED project, “Design of lightweight steels for industrial applications”, (July
2020 – December 2023).
- Optimized the chemistries and aging strategies for the investigated alloys.
- Designed a high-Mn lightweight steel alloy with improved low-temperature toughness and
hydrogen embrittlement resistance.
- Characterized the investigated alloys via mechanical and microstructural techniques.
- Coordinated the analysis and modelling work package of the project.
STDF-Egypt-funded project, “Production of high-Mn stainless steels with extremely attractive
combinations of ultra-high strength and ductility”, (September 2015 - March 2017).
- Designed the chemical composition of the produced alloys based on targeted active
secondary deformation mechanisms and replacing strategic elements.
- Supervised the production and thermomechanical treatment of the studied alloys.
- Performed mechanical and electrochemical testing.
