In brief
Manoj Prabhakar Singh is Department Head, Corrosion Testing, at TCR Engineering, with experience across foundry operations, fabrication and advanced material testing laboratories. A science graduate from Venkateshwara Open University, Itanagar, he works to national and international testing specifications.
He pairs his knowledge of material behaviour with practical industrial design experience when he approaches a metallurgical problem.
Background and experience
Mr. Singh analyses technical documents and general arrangement drawings and draws valid engineering conclusions from them. That diagnostic work rests on a working knowledge of the heat treatment of industrial ferrous materials, alongside practical experience in design for steel and alloy development.
- Diagnostic method: analysis of complex technical documents and general arrangement drawings, backed by knowledge of the heat treatment of industrial ferrous materials.
- Materials: cast iron, general engineering steels, stainless steels, aluminium, copper alloys, nickel-base alloys and titanium.
- Sectors: offshore, marine, refinery and automotive.
- High-stress assets evaluated: turbine blades, compressors, gearboxes, motors, pumps, rotors, shafts, valves and pipe work.
- Specialised components: industrial springs, automotive seat belts, reinforcement couplers and aluminium profiles.
- Corrosion testing: intergranular corrosion per ASTM A262, pitting and crevice, HIC, SSCC and CSCC under NACE TM0177, TM0284, MR0175 and MR0103, and salt spray per ASTM B117.
His materials range covers cast iron, general engineering steels, stainless steels, aluminium, copper alloys, nickel-base alloys, and titanium.
Mr. Singh carries out the mechanical investigation of critical components across the offshore, marine, refinery, and automotive sectors. His diagnostic portfolio includes evaluating high-stress assets such as turbine blades, compressors, gearboxes, motors, pumps, rotors, shafts, valves, and pipe work. He also analyses fasteners, boilers, pressure vessels, plain and rolling bearings, gears, pistons, spark plugs, crankshafts, camshafts, and engine valves. That component knowledge means testing is planned with the asset's operating environment in mind.
In the lab, Mr. Singh maintains hands-on practice in conventional mechanical testing for specialised components, including industrial springs, automotive seat belts, reinforcement couplers, and aluminium profiles. He also oversees corrosion testing, including inter-granular corrosion testing per ASTM A262, pitting and crevice corrosion testing, Hydrogen-Induced Cracking (HIC), Sulphide Stress Corrosion Cracking (SSCC), and Chloride Stress Corrosion Cracking (CSCC) under NACE TM0177, TM0284, MR0175, and MR0103 standards, as well as salt spray testing per ASTM B117.
As department head, Mr. Singh combines technical supervision with a collaborative management style, motivating his team and keeping the workflow efficient. Beyond managing internal lab operations and supervising the machining department to ensure strict compliance with standard preparation codes, he acts as the primary technical interface for all Third-Party Inspections (TPI). He resolves technical queries from international auditors, interprets test results and supports senior leadership.
