International Conference on

Recent Advances in Metallurgy for Sustainable Development

(IC-RAMSD 2018)

February 1 – 3, 2018

Faculty of Technology and Engineering, The M .S. UNIVERSITY OF BARODA, VADODARA- GUJARAT (INDIA)

Organized by

Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, Faculty of Technology and Engineering,

The M.S. University of Baroda,

Kalabhavan, Vadodara

In association with

Ministry of Steel, Government of India, New Delhi

Preamble

The metals and their alloys have played significant role since early civilization and are being used in

(i) the construction of buildings, roads, bridges, flyovers etc (ii) automotive industries (iii) railways

and (iv) nuclear, space and defense related applications. The production of ferrous and non-ferrous

metals making use of conventional raw materials is almost established and attempts are being made to

make production processes more eco-friendly, energy efficient and cost effective. Metals and their

powders are being used for making complicated castings and components respectively in a variety of

engineering industries. The welding technology is also playing significant role in the fabrication of

equipments and accessories related to engineering industries. The micro-structural analysis of metals

and their alloys reveals their inherent characteristics under different experimental and environmental

conditions and the failure analysis of engineering components predict their life. Likewise corrosion

production enhances their life for sustainable development. During last 4 to 5 decades several

advanced metallic materials and composites have been developed for specific engineering applications

with a view to enhance their mechanical properties. In recent years modeling and simulation of

metallurgical processes have revealed their mechanisms as well as explored new process parameters

for their effective and efficient operation. Almost all metallurgical applications invariably require

vigorous testing at each and every stage and non-destructive techniques are playing major role.

Presently the scarcity of high grade resources is affecting metal productivity and use of lean grade

minerals is generating huge quantity of solid, liquid and gaseous wastes. Therefore immediate attention

is needed to have sustainable metal industries by developing eco-friendly energy efficient processes

making use of lean grade ores, mine wastes, ore fines and ore slime. The recovery of valuable metals

from electronic wastes and all sorts of industrial and urban wastes is a major thrust area. The

conference shall provide a global forum and unique opportunity to exchange and discuss scientific

information and technological innovations amongst experts and practitioners from different disciplines

viz. industries, R&D establishments and academia for finding solution in time bound period.

Objectives

• Bring together global experts and practitioners from interdisciplinary areas,

industries, R&D establishments, academia as well as students on a common

platform for updating and sharing their experiences and knowledge including

latest developments and processing of waste by-products for sustainable

development.

• Give an impetus to develop and innovative technologies / processes by exploring

lean grade ores, fines / slime, and industrial waste.

• Improving metal processing methods with lower energy consumption and

minimum effluent discharge.
