Details for Specialization: Dr. Rampada Manna

Specialization Phase Transformations, Design of Steels, Heat treatment of Metals, Ultrafine-grained and bulk nanostructured Materials, Severe Plastic Deformation,  Electropulsing, Steel Technologies
 
Specialization deals with refinement of materials by adopting principles of phase transformations, severe plastic deformation and electropulsing for design of bulk ultrafine-grained, bulk nanostructured metallic alloys specially advanced steels for strong structure, wear resistant parts and impact resistant applications. The development of refined materials  are for ultrahigh strength structures with high hardness, ductility and toughness.  Alloy compositions are designed by JMATPRO, ThermoCalc,  melted by Vacuum induction melting,  processed by controlled rolling and various heat treatment processes. The materials are characterized for microstructure  and fracture surfaces by optical and electron microscopies, microtexture by EBSD, bulk texture, identification and quantification of phases and residual stress  by X-ray diffraction. Mechanical properties are measured by both bulk and micro indentation techniques, tensile testing, impact testing, wear and erosion testing.
Major Achievements:
 
  1. Developed and Commercialized Super Strength Cordierite Technology.
  2. Developed Severe Plastic Deformation Facility, at 60-100 MT, DST funded. Produced ultrafine-grained superstrength alloys, interstitial-free steel and low carbon steel
  3. Established Electropulsing Laboratory, 200KA at 10-15kV, BRNS funded. Produced ductile and tough ultrafine-grained steel of low residual stress 
  4. Established and Shaped Advanced Research Centre for Iron and Steel, SDF funded

Where following facilities are created

  • Vacuum Induction Melting Furnace, Melting and casting of  2 kg ferrous alloys,
  • X-ray Diffractometer with Texture Analysis High resolution XRD for powder and solid samples with bulk texture facility and residual stress measurement,
  • EBSD Detector with software,  TEAM EBSD software, Microtexture analysis,
  •  Software for Fe based alloys, JMATPRO software, calculation of TTA, TTT and CCT diagrams
