Onboarding in a Virtual Environment

Khan, Rabia; Miller, Michelle; Valerio, Analise; Willhite, Isabella; Hernandez, Zachary

A need for a standardized Division 10000 onboarding program for virtual hires was identified by management to formalize the way employees and interns are onboarded and trained into Division 10000. This white paper provides effective short and long-term suggestions in the efforts of improving virtual onboarding. Data suggests that remote work is going to become the forefront of many industry practices, which indicates the need of a standardized virtual onboarding practices. With our research, gap assessments, benchmarking, and conducting interviews both internally and externally, we found that clarity, culture, and connection proved to be the strongest solutions in order to maintain Sandia’s competitive edge and sustain workers both remote and in-person.

Incipient Melting in AA7075

Brehm, Johnathon R.; Buckner, Jessica L.; Profazi, Christina A.; Foulk, James W.

Incipient melting is a phenomenon that can occur in aluminum alloys where solute rich areas, such as grain boundaries, can melt before the rest of the material; incipient melting can degrade mechanical and corrosion properties and is irreversible, resulting in material scrapping. After detecting indications of incipient melting as the cause of failure in 7075 aluminum alloy parts (AA7075), a study was launched to determine threshold temperature for incipient melting. Samples of AA7075 were solution annealed using temperatures ranging from 870-1090F. A hardness profile was developed to demonstrate the loss of mechanical properties through the progression of incipient melting. Additionally, Zeiss software Zen Core Intellesis was utilized to more accurately quantify the changes in microstructural properties as AA7075 surpassed the onset of incipient melting. The results from this study were compared with previous AA7075 material that demonstrated incipient melting.
