| Post Name | Junior Research Fellow |
| Project Name | Experimental and numerical investigations on the effect of process parameters on the weld quality of polymeric materials by friction stir welding |
| Project Description | This project focuses on finding the best way to join plastic materials together using a special technique called "friction stir welding" that uses heat and pressure instead of glue or melting. By testing different speeds and pressures in the lab, the research into industrial health aims to make plastic parts stronger and more reliable for use in cars and airplanes. This project is funded by the Gujarat Council on Science and Technology (GUJCOST), Department of Science and Technology, Government of Gujarat to ensure that our nation has the most advanced manufacturing tools. The goal is to provide a better treatment for our national industrial standards by perfecting how we build complex plastic structures, helping the whole community enjoy a more stable and technologically advanced future. |
