Assist. Prof. Dr. Ahmed Ameed , Department of Materials Engineering / University of Technology, participated in the discussion of the MSc student (Noor Sabah Noori). The title of the thesis is (Increasing Effective Life of Cu-Based Alloys Used in Ship Industries).

The student studied the effect of elements i.e. iron, nickel, manganese, aluminum, yatrium and germanium on the properties of corrosion by erosion of copper alloys used in marine applications. The oxidation was also studied at temperatures of 250 ^oC and 800 ^oC in addition to the tests of hardness, microstructure, , porosity and density and the results showed a significant improvement of properties, especially when yatrium and germanium were added due their ability to form a protective layer and high oxide for high ambient conditions resistance.

The discussion committee was formed of the teaching staff listed:

Also, a letter of thanks and appreciation was given to the Assist. Prof. Ahmed Ameed from The Dean of the Faculty of Materials Engineering/ Babylon University (Prof. Dr. Emad Ali Dasher) for his efforts in the membership of the discussion committee according to the book No. 2531 on 2020/12/7.
