Dr. Tanvir Hussain, of the university, has received the five-year fellowship — funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council — to find new modeling and processing techniques...

SUMMARY Electrolytic codeposition is a promising alternative low-cost process for fabricating MCrAlY coatings.  In this process, CrAlY particles are codeposited with the (Ni,Co) to form an (Ni,Co)-CrAlY composite coating, which is subsequently heat treated at elevated temperatures to be transformed to the MCrAlY coating containing phases of β-NiAl, γ-(Ni,Co), etc.  Two types of CrAlY-based particles (made by ball milling and gas atomization) were employed.  The effects of several key proce...

New Ozone Generator Effectively Kills Germs Written by AZoSensorsFeb 2 2021 While ultraviolet light and chlorine are the routine ways of disinfecting water, ozone is just as effective in destroying microorganisms. The electrodes for the ozone generator are made of silicon wafers with precisely etched trenches. Image Credit: © Fraunhofer ISIT. So far, scientists have only used ozone as an oxidation agent for treating water in large-scale plants. But now a project consortium from Schleswig-Holst...

A Symposium Of Revolutionary Ideas: CPCM 2020 SHARE  -Albert Einstein We live in a material world. Following the industrial revolution, metals have formed the forefront of technology, and they have stayed there ever since. It is often said that material science is the foundation upon which today’s technology is based, and real-world applications would not be possible without them. On the same lines, the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, NIT Rourkela successfully orga...
