In a significant step towards advancing materials research and industrial innovation, the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IIT Hyderabad), backed by funding from the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), is calling on industries to collaborate in establishing a state-of-the-art 100 kg inert gas atomiser at its premises. This facility promises to revolutionize the production of high-quality alloy powders, catering to critical applications in defense, aerospace, and beyond.
What sets this facility apart is its capability to produce powders with an oxygen content of less than 150 ppm, ensuring unparalleled quality and performance. This makes it an invaluable asset for industries seeking to develop cutting-edge components and technologies.
The collaboration is fully funded by DRDO, covering both the setup and maintenance of the facility. This eliminates financial barriers for industries, offering a rare opportunity to co-develop a world-class resource without upfront investment.
The proposed inert gas atomiser will enable the production of advanced alloy powders, including:
- Ni-based superalloys: Known for their exceptional strength and heat resistance.
- Cobalt-based alloys: Valued for durability in extreme conditions.
- Special steels: Engineered for specialized industrial and defense needs.
- High-entropy alloys: Next-generation materials with unique properties.
This initiative exemplifies the power of academia-industry-government collaboration. IIT Hyderabad’s technical prowess, combined with DRDO’s strategic vision and industry expertise, sets the stage for groundbreaking advancements in alloy powder production. The facility will not only serve immediate industrial needs but also pave the way for future research and development in high-performance materials.
