Nitin Gupta, Vineet Dawara, Aloke Kumar +1
The prospect of establishing extra-terrestrial habitats using in situ resource utilization (ISRU) constitutes a long-term goal of multiple space agencies around the world. In this…
Design of a low-velocity impact framework for evaluating space-grade materials
Vineet Dawara, Ashok Bajantri, Harish Singh Dhami +2
Material deformation and failure under impact loading is a subject of active investigation in space science and often requires very specialized equipment for testing. In this work,…
Microstructural Characterization and Mechanical Property Evaluation of High Nitrogen Martensitic Stainless Steel Subjected to Heat Treatment
Harish Singh Dhami, Nellori Dileep Kumar, Thomas Tharian +2
The High Nitrogen Martensitic Stainless Steel (HNMS) was subjected to three different austenitizing cycles of 1050C, 1075C and 1100C followed by subzero tre…
