About the Workshop
The PCHTML workshop at IIT Patna is two-day workshop which is designed to cover a wide range of topics related to high temperature materials. On day one, we will discuss process-structure correlations in two different high temperature metals and alloys while day two will focus on ceramics and glass.
Throughout the workshop, we will also provide demonstrations of the latest in high temperature units such as thermal analysis and process modelling via phase diagrams. We are committed to providing our attendees with the knowledge and resources they need to make informed decisions when working with high temperature materials.
About Metallurgical and Materials Engg. Dept.
The Department of Materials Science and Engineering was established in the year 2012 and was renamed as Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (MME) in 2018. The department focuses on the fundamental and engineering aspects of conventional metallurgy, ceramics, polymers, and composites. Apart from the vibrant teaching activity, the department also aims to train students (via various ongoing research activities financially supported by Govt. and private industrial organizations) with the fundamentals and expertise of design, synthesis, characterization, testing, and production of various materials along with the knowledge of new technologies in production and processing of new and advanced engineering materials.
​
The MAPS laboratory in MME department primarily works on the investigation of PROCESS-STRUCTURE relationship of high-temperature materials at different length scales. This is usually carried out via probing into synthesis (via materials chemistry routes) and processing (e.g., consolidation, sintering, shaping, and etc.) issues for nanoparticles, oxides, ceramics, etc. and try to understand the complexities involved in the process. The investigation methods include a variety of structural characterization tools. The final objective of MAPS laboratory is to provide/come up with a sustainable process with the option of industrial calability.
About IIT Patna
Indian Institute of Technology Patna is one of the new IITs established by an Act of the Indian Parliament on August 06, 2008 with an intake capacity of 120 B.Tech. students in 3 branches. Patna which was known as Patliputra has been a center of knowledge since long has been attracting visitors and scholars from many parts of the world such as China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Sri Lanka, among others. This has been a land of visionaries. Some of the legends from this region include Lord Gautam Buddha, Lord Mahavir, Guru Gobind Singh, the famous astronomer Aryabhatta and the first President of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad.
IIT Patna has ten departments. These are Computer Science & Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, Civil & Environmental Engineering, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, and Humanities & Social Science department. The institute has developed modern facilities that are fully equipped with the state-of-the-art facilities.
