Analyzed the transition temperature of low-carbon steel using Charpy V-notch impact testing
Measured absorbed energy, lateral expansion, shear fracture, and fracture appearance
Aimed to understand the ductile-to-brittle behavior of the material
Inspected and recorded 10+ dimensional measurements for 5 steel specimens
Performed Charpy impact testing using a Tinius Olsen pendulum under ASTM E23-18 standards
Collaborated with 2 mechanical team members to improve testing efficiency
Maintained strict adherence to PPE and ASTM safety protocols for a 100% incident-free lab
Analyzed and reported 20 data sets using Microsoft Word and Excel
Completed testing 15% faster than projected through effective teamwork
Maintained a 100% safety record throughout the project
Achieved 100% data accuracy, producing reliable insights into steel's transition temperature
