Nomad Metallurgy

I have worked since the summer of 2016 intermittently at Nomad Metallurgy, a failure analysis lab. This has taught me technical skills such as hardness testing, density testing, and how to cut/mount/polish parts for analysis.

This is a density rig I made and then used working for Nomad metallurgy, this test uses the mass of the water displaced by an object to determine its density. This test was done to the ASTM B311 specification.

I used the equipment shown to cut, mount, and polish metallurgical samples for analysis. The samples shown are examples of this, but were not likely done by me.
