Metallurgy and Materials Science

The assistance of metallurgy and materials science in the growth of solid-state electronics involves growth of high-purity, macroscopically dislocation-free silicon crystals; elimination of electro migration in thin metallic conductors and minimization of growth and processing induced defects in silicon. Nano structured and ultrafine materials includes properties such as nanostructured oxide dispersion strengthened alloys, ultra-fine grained high strength aluminum alloys through cryo-rolling and severe plastic deformation, lead-free nanostructured ferroelectric materials, production of bulk nanostructured materials and Synthesis of nanoparticles. Composite based materials like carbon nanotube composites and Aluminum matrix composites, high cycle fatigue of repair welds of AISI 410 stainless steels and Notch creep-rupture life of 718 super alloys.
