Organizes
International Conference on Advanced Materials, Metallurgy and Manufacturing
1st-2nd November, 2022
&
One day Workshop on Materials Characterization
3rd November, 2022

Objective

This International Conference aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers, research scholars and the industry to exchange and share their recent research outcomes on all aspects. It has two fold outcomes. First two days are dedicated to four sessions namely: Advanced Energy materials, Composites and their applications, ADI Technology, Surface Technology, followed by a one day workshop on Materials Characterization for participants. It focuses on synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of advanced materials, functional materials, metals and alloys. It will include several plenary lectures and keynote talks by eminent personalities from around the world, in addition to contributed papers both oral and poster presentations.

One day workshop aims to provide hands-on experience and training to the research community on TGA-DTA, FTIR, SEM-EDS, Fatigue Testing, Wear testing and ADI Technology (Pilot Plant). Target audience are Engineering and Scientific Faculty, Scientists in research labs, research scholars, postgraduate from academia and industry personnel, etc. Conference is planned with following main objectives:

  • To generate awareness about the importance of materials in research
  • To highlight the influence of metallurgical aspects on the properties of materials
  • To enhance the knowledge of selection of different grades of materials to improve the efficiency of industries
  • To share economic viewpoints on manufacturing processes
