| Project & Consultancy |
| With financial assistance received from World Bank, the department has successfully set up the above laboratories with modern and sophisticated equipments. |
 |
| The department has set up an Advanced Materials Processing and Characterisation Laboratory with grants from AICTE under the MODROB Scheme in 2002-03. |
|
| The Metallurgical and Materials Engineering Department has been carrying out consultancy work in Analysis and Testing of Materials, Fuel Testing, Coal and Ore Analysis of nearby industries. |
| |
| Research Activities |
| In the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, research work is being carried out in the areas of kinetics of metallurgical processes like sponge iron production, processing of advanced materials, development of ceramic cutting tools and structure and deformation studies of aluminium based alloys and composite materials. |
| |
| Scope |
|
| Metallurgy concerns with processing of metallic ores yielding different materials. The metals are alloyed with other metals and ingredients and then processed and fabricated so that the resulting materials have required special characterics. During the last few decades, such development has found wide application in space technology, nuclear technology, super conductivity and high temperature technology. The materials technology has itself emerged as a special discipline. |
| |
| The industries nearby such as NALCO, NABHACHROME, BHUSAN STEELS, IPISTEEL, IPITATA, NINL, JINDAL, BINDAL, provide ample scope for tempering the textual knowledge of the students with practical insights. A student graduating in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering can enter into metallurgical process plants, manufacturing industries, nuclear and research establishments and space research organizations. |
