|
| |
| ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT OF CERAMIC ENGINEERING |
|
 |
| Established in 1994, the department has already
been recognized nationally for its quality teaching,
research both in undergraduate and postgraduate
programs. A team of highly qualified and
young ,dynamic faculty members are engaged in
the research activities of both conventional and
advanced ceramics. The department has state of
the art laboratories on advanced ceramic processing
and characterization. The faculty members
have obtained a number of research projects from
DST, DRDO, BRFST , CSIR ,BARC etc. It has also developed
close industrial linkages (in terms of short
term project, collaborative research and testing)
with different neighbouring industries like Tata
steel , TRL, OCL , IFGL etc. The graduates of this
department are widely accepted in both core & IT
industries, academic and research institutes as well
as in different business schools in India and abroad.

| ABOUT THE WORKSHOP |
The first interaction workshop on the
“Development of Lithium Based Ceramics
for Tritium Breeding” is being organized
at NIT Rourkela under the auspices of IPR
and BRFST. The workshop aims to review
the current status of breeder materials research
and it will also provide a forum for
presentation and discussion by eminent
speakers, scientists and research scholars
in this area. |
| |
| SCOPE |
 |
| The workshop is to provide a platform for
mutual interactions among materials scientists
and engineers working on lithium
based ceramic breeder materials for use in
Test Blanket Module (TBM) for tritium
extraction. The presentations will include
the different processing routes and aspects
of Lithium based ceramic materials, developments,
thermal ,mechanical & microstructural
evaluation for property optimization,
modeling of thermal and mechanical properties and trends of future developmentents
etc. The workshop will also include
presentations on recent technical progress of
development of Lithium based Ceramic
Breeder Materials, discussions on the status
of Ceramic breeder blanket interaction and
how to solve the critical issues in the future. |
