Ahmed Elrefaey

Dear Sir
I'm A. Elrefaey, currently a senior project officer and researcher at the Swansea University. I am writing to apply for the listed position. The opportunity presented in this listing is very interesting and I believe that my strong technical experience and education in the field of material science and welding technology, and brazing will make me a very competitive candidate for this position.

I have over 27-year experience in metallurgical engineering issues. My areas of expertise include Microstructure investigation for all metals, alloys, polymer and powder materials, scanning electron microscopy, fracture mechanics, metallurgical tests and techniques. I have investigated and analysed many failures cases including turbine/heat exchanger failures. I have additional experience with corrosion of metal and electrochemical testing. My main expertise is extended also to welding, brazing, soldering, and joining of metals technology.
Including to my cover letter is complete curriculum vitae with all details of my education, experience, and references.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
