uses. Ever since the dawn of the bronze age, gradually metals
have reached the zenith of the domination each and every step
of the civilization. Technologically speaking metals are ruling
the entire universe with aircrafts in the sky and submarines under
the ocean. A lion's share of the credit for the advent of the
reign of metals goes to its parent branch metallurgical engineering.
A
highly qualified faculty adorns this department. Their single
minded dedication towards this noble branch has taken it to the
prestigious position it holds today. In addition, highly expensive
machineries, ornament, the laboratories of the metallurgical engineering
department, some of which range in lakhs. This facilitates the
students to expand their horizon of knowledge.
The
instron- a specialized universal testing machine, which is one
of the costliest machines sits grandly in the laboratory. There
is a microscopic study laboratory, thermo dynamics laboratory,
corrosion laboratory equipped with state of art machines. Melting
facility and testing facility is also available. The department
of Metallurgy, soon to be called the department of Metallurgy
and Material Science Engineering Department has high level interactions
with the CMERI, DSP and other steel plants in and around Durgapur.
They provide testing and consultancy services to these institutions.
The department has also been accredited by National Board of Accredition
for 5 years.
In
this branch research is the order of the day. If the laboratories
and red-blue chemicals are the stuff your dreams are made of,
then this is the branch offers you more scope than imaginable.
The world of metals beckons
the strong and the brave and NIT-Durgapur offers the platform
