Lorraine Nasha Anak Aki

To leverage my specialty on mineral processes such as metallurgy and pyrometallurgy, particularly iron, limestone and etc. for steel production with degree in Mineral Resources Engineering from University Sains Malaysia (USM). Equipped with hands-on experience and a deep understanding of metallurgy, I am eager to optimize production processes by effectively managing input (raw materials) and output (product), enhancing overall operational efficiency.

• Hands-on experience in operating and managing furnace, adept at charging furnace with appropriately prepared raw materials and executive precise heating protocol to achieve desired temperature and initiate critical metallurgical reactions.
• Able to work in team designed and executed heat treatment experiments on metallic samples to investigate the effects of temperature, time, and cooling rates on microstructure and mechanical properties. 
• Conducted comprehensive analysis and characterization of metallic samples using methods such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to analyze crystallographic structures and elemental compositions of metals and alloys.
• Conducted calcination and decomposition to study calcination process, remove volatile components behaviors such as gas evolution and weight loss, to the appropriate temperature ranges and heating rates for efficient calcination.

• In depth understanding the physical and chemical behavior of metals and their alloys, which are combinations of two or more metallic elements.
• Specialization in the extraction of metals from ores, refining processes to obtain pure metals, alloy formation, heat treatment, mechanical processing and testing of metals to understand their behavior under different conditions.
• Study the goal of metallurgy to improve the properties of metals and alloys for specific applications, such as increasing strength, improving resistance to corrosion, enhancing heat resistance, and achieving desired electrical or thermal conductivity.
• Knowledge in pyrometallurgy process such as roasting, smelting, refining and thermal reduction to separate the valuable metals from impurities and unwanted elements using heat and chemical reactions.
