We’re spending the last days of 2022 celebrating our best research accomplishments of the year! Graduate student Sandeep Dhakal shares his best accomplishment below:
“This year I performed bulk residual stress analysis on additively manufactured stainless steel 316L using neutron diffraction at Oak Ridge National Laboratory via their user proposal program. I also presented the research findings including microstructure and mechanical behavior of the manufactured components at MS&T22.”
