Achievments

❖ The Department had been recognized as Centre of Advanced Study in 1980 and presently running into the IVth phase of this status.

❖ The Department is also a Centre of QIP programme of MHRD/AICTE since 1981.

❖ In the year under review the Department has received a grant of Rs. 3.85 crores from DST.

Advanced Research Centre for Iron

and Steel (ARCIS).

❖ Coordinator : Dr. R. Manna

❖ ARCIS created as a part of the

Metallurgical Engg. Department will have

state-of-art equipment procured and

installed.

❖ The goals of ARCIS include:

• Creation Of well qualified manpower with advanced skill sets in the areas of raw material processing modeling of direct reduction processes as well as thermo mechanical processing of steels.

• Development of knowledge base that can be adopted by the steel industry with potential of scaling-ups. In future ARCIS will collaborate with industries for mutual benefit.

Malaviya Chair for Railway Technology ❖ Coordinator Prof. R K Mandal.

❖ This chair has been established by the Ministry of Railways, Government of on June 08, 2015 to have collaboration with our Institute in the area of Materials Science and Engineering.

❖ Some of the areas where our expertise has been sought pertain to Physical Metallurgy, Mechanical metallurgy;

❖ Some of the relevant activities include :Two research projects are nearing their successful completion.

❖ Development of Light Weight FRP runner for blower fan assembly of Roof Mounted Package Unit (RMPU) fitted in AC coaches

❖ Development of long life Nylon bushes for Alternator with suitable material composition to avoid failure of bushes.

❖ This Chair is expected to provide stimulus for the creation of a research center to meet the entire corpus of engineering needs of the Railways.
