Currently, the Foundry section plays a vital role in Ferrous as well as Non-ferrous metals/alloys in industries. The applications of foundry can be seen in the automobile industry, steel industry, aerospace industry, etc. The lab facilitates the study of non-ferrous metals/alloys research activities like preparing new alloys by melting and casting by utilizing the heating furnaces. In this section, the students are trained in various molding methods, core making, pattern making, calculation of green and dry strength, and permeability tests. It provides basic knowledge of various molding tests and exposure to the casting process.
In the contemporary world, there has been a continual demand for new materials in various engineering applications, especially in aerospace, automobiles, and other industrial applications. To understand the requirements of the industry, there is a need to understand the behavior of metals or alloys. The behavior of materials can be studied well in the Metallurgy lab by utilizing microscopes. Students are exposed to sample preparation methods like polishing, etching, and microstructural study of various phases and inclusion ratings, etc.
