This is the polishing machine that we used for polishing the samples for the experiment, "Metallography specimen preparation". Moreover, after this, the "Microhardness test" was performed.
This is the chiller that we used to keep the specimens at lower temperature than that of the ambient temperature to perform "Impact toughness" test afterwards.
This is the "Impact toughness" testing machine that we used for the experiment, "Ductile/Brittle transition - Impact toughness testing".
This is the tensile testing machine that we used for performing the experiments, "Strengthening processes for metals" and "Polymer tensile testing".
On the left, you can see the "Brinell hardness tester" and next to it is "Rockwell hardness tester". We used these machines for testing hardness of the specimens during the experiments, "Strengthening processes - Hardness test", "Ductile to brittle transition - Impact toughness test" and "Phase transformations - End quench hardenability test".
Here you can see the machine that we used for mounting the specimen which was later used for the experiment, "Metallography specimen preparation".
This is the cutting machine that we used to cut the specimens.

Teaching Assistant: Materials Science Apps Lab.

I was a Teaching Assistant for the Materials Science Apps Lab. This section explores all the experiments I presented and performed according to the ASTM standards for the students.
Grading their professional lab reports was also one of the duties.
