Noah Kantor is a Ph.D. candidate at Worcester Polytechnic Institute studying Materials Science and Engineering and a research assistant for the Center for Heat Treating Excellence
(CHTE), where his work pertains to quenching materials. He holds a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and an M.S. in Materials Science and Engineering.
Various in-situ methods can track realtime heat treatment response in bulk materials. This can aid material engineers in designing the most effective heat treatment procedures and processing methods. In-situ methods such as thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and dilatometry, offer capabilities to examine heat treatment behavior in real time, giving insight into the thermochemical mechanisms and the thermal behavior of steel.
