Production friendly Polycrystalline Cubic Boron Nitride (PCBN) using non critical raw material binder systems.
Tamhasip Khan is a doctoral scientist (funded by the project AIM-NEXT) employed at Element Six in Shannon, Ireland, and is currently pursuing a PhD at Lund University. His research focuses on developing production-friendly polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) using non-conventional and non-critical raw material (CRM) binders systems. He holds both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Chemical Engineering. Driven by a strong passion for materials science and engineering, Khan is committed to advancing research on PCBN a super hard material used for machining ferrous and nickel-based alloys.
Tamhasip Khan is working on the production of polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) using binder systems composed of non-critical and non-conventional raw materials, specifically for machining nickel based heat resistant superalloys. His research aims to maximize design-for-manufacture scores by optimizing the cost to performance ratio of the cutting tools. One of the key objectives of his work is to conduct machining trials with nickel-based alloys, investigate the associated wear mechanisms, and enhance machining performance through the optimization of microstructure, sintering conditions, and pre-mixing technologies.
