V. (Anthony) Ananthanarayanan, Ph.D., received an M.S. degree in Metallurgical Engineering (1985), a Ph.D. in Welding Engineering (1988), and a Distinguished Alumnus Award (2005) from the Ohio State University. Dr. Anthony worked a few years as an uclear metallurgist in India and 19 years with GM and Delphi Corporations, ending as Delphi Technical Fellow: Welding from 2003 – 2007. In 2007, he established a resistance weld research laboratory in Dayton, Ohio, and moved it to Warren, Michigan, in 2019. Dr. Anthony, a 35 year AWS Member, as authored 33 U.S. Patents, mostly on welding technology. Significant among them was (i) solid-state welding (not brazing) methodology for welding Stainless Steel 316 tubes to CP-2 Titanium tubing for use in NASA rocket nozzles, (ii) Deformation resistance welding of tubular structures that led to the formation of SpaceForm Inc. in the Detroit area, (iii) Focused-melt resistance spot and seam welding of aluminum alloys that yield electrode lives exceeding 1000 hits between dressing operations and (iv) Welding stranded copper wires to connectors and boxes.
