About

Mostafa is a research fellow in nCATs group. He recieved his PhD from the University of Southampton where he studied the development in subsurface microstructural alterations known as dark etching regions and white etching bands in bearing steels due to rolling contact fatigue in collaboration with Schaeffler Technologies.  Mostafa is currently working on the microstructure analysis of bearing steels and subsurface initiated failure known as butterflies/white etching areas and white etching cracks induced by rolling contact fatigue. He is interested in how electrical currents, hydrogen embrittlement and material properties influence the integrity of the bearing microstructure.
