Title
Heat Treatment and Surface
hardening of Iron and Steels
About the Programme
Steel being used in every field of engineering has a
unique role, both in sophisticated and
in simple component. Presently an extensive research and development work is
going on to improve the product quality, optimisation and cost effectiveness.
Latest computerised techniques have taken an important role to change the
scenario of manufacturing systems. The persons engaged in the process control
thus need to be conversant with the latest developments for specific use of the
engineering goods with specific physical and mechanical properties. Various
heat treatment processes have major role in these studies. Heat treatment has
been under going rapid changes in recent era. These changes are brought about
due to the stringent restriction of environmental considerations and increasing
cost of power. Surface engineering on the other hand has been gaining
importance by virtue of developments among other technologies such has
improvement of furnace technology, generation of laser beams, gas quenching,
plasma processing etc. The objective of this workshop is to introduce the
subject in the background of Physical metallurgy and up gradation of other
specialised area in the field of heat treatment to the
participants from industries and other Govt. R & D
organisation.
The brief content of the course are
·
Introduction of
physical metallurgy
·
Heat treatment of
metal and its alloys.
·

Title
Advanced
gravity concentration
About the Programme
Gravity concentration
is undoubtedly the most used concentration technique in Mineral Processing. However,
it has certain inherent inefficiencies. The most notable being its inability to deal with fines. The settling
characteristics of the fines are indeed very poor. This renders many of the conventional units inadequate to treat fines. The
concept of enhanced gravity
separation (EGS) making use of a centrifugal field to improve the settling characteristics has caught the imagination of
scientists and researchers for quite some time. EGS has developed into a
significant field of research and the efforts led to the invention of various
processing units, some of which are in industrial operation today. Conventional concentration has also experienced a
sea change in its approach. A number of notable developments have taken place
to overcome some of the shortcomings. Keeping
such needs in mind NML is proposing
to hold a three-day seminar on Advanced Gravity Separation in September
2008 at NML Jamshedpur premises. The seminar would also include a half-day
visit to NML pilot plant and live demonstration of advanced gravity separation
units at NML.
The brief content of the course are
Gravity

Developments in dry gravity separation and its
application

Title
Beneficiation of Iron Ores
About the Programme
Considering the phenomenal growth in iron and steel industry,
increasing demand for quality iron ores, need for rational utilisation of iron
ore resources and meeting environment regulations call for a re-look at the
present beneflciation technology. Huge opportunities have also emerged in the
wake of economic reforms and globalisation leading to massive investment in
mineral sector in general and iron ores in particular. Since early 50's
National Metallurgical Laboratory (NML) has been involved in characterisation
and beneflciation of iron ores from entire geographical region of the country
and provided know-how for setting up iron ore beneflciation and agglomeration
plants. NML has also carried out detailed studies on iron ore samples from
countries like

Title
Failure Analysis
About the Programme
Failure of a component indicates it has become completely or
partially unusable or has deteriorated to the point that it is undependable or
unsafe for normal sustained service. Failure analysis and prevention are
important functions to all of the engineering disciplines. The materials
engineer often plays a lead role in the analysis of failures, whether a
component or product fails in service or if failure occurs in manufacturing or
during production processing. In any case, one must determine the cause of
failure to prevent future occurrence, and/or to improve the performance of the
component or structure. The training covers the following the topics consisting
tutorials and hands-on experiments.
