Guest lecture on Aerospace Materials and Manufacturing Technologies – 27th July 2019
Expert: Scientist, R&D Laboratory in DRDO, Bangalore
The department of mechanical engineering organized a guest lecture on the topic of Aerospace Materials and Manufacturing Technologies. The speaker for the session was a Scientist in DRDO professional in the field of Aerospace materials. The speaker has over 12 years of experience in the field Metal additive manufacturing, metal matrix composite materials, tribology, Al, Mg, Ti, ferrous alloys, shape memory alloy, high entropy alloy and Advanced manufacturing processes.
The session included an overview of the basic concepts of Forging, Simulations and testing of materials. The various problems related to cast and forged parts used in engineering applications was discussed. The students were also informed about solving problems using Analysis and
Simulation methods. Identifications of stress induced in forged parts and its cooling time were explained clearly.
Design and simulation of forged components for aerospace was elaborated in details. He has given inputs on, how to crack gate exam and highlighted its importance with various case studies. The selections of appropriate projects, research work and internship in final year which boosted the interest level of students.
The overall program was very much interesting and benefitted for the students to crack gate exams, do their masters and get placed in suitable domains
