The Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory (DMRL) has successfully transferred technologies for two steel products to M/s Arcelor Mittal Nippon Steel India Limited, Surat. These technologies include DMR 249A Steel Sheets & Plates and DMR1700 Mill Forms.
DMR 249A is a low carbon micro-alloyed steel grade with exceptional toughness at sub-zero temperatures. It is widely used in shipbuilding due to its superior mechanical properties. However, DMR 249A exhibits poor corrosion resistance.
The transfer of these technologies to Arcelor Mittal Nippon Steel India Limited is expected to bolster India’s domestic capabilities in steel production for defense applications. By leveraging DMRL’s expertise, the company can produce high-quality steel products that meet the stringent requirements of the Indian Armed Forces.
This collaboration between DMRL and Arcelor Mittal Nippon Steel India Limited is a significant step towards achieving self-sufficiency in defense-related steel production. It also demonstrates India’s commitment to promoting indigenous research and development in the manufacturing sector.
