Laboratory
Orientation to Non-conventional machine; Exposure to EDM/WEDM/EB, quantifications of process parameters and their effects; Exposure to Laser with relevant experiments to quantities its effect on materials for different operations. Hybridization of processes, solid/liquid (US/AJ/WJ) impact erosion studies. Manufacturing using CHM/PCM for manufacturing of micro components. Exposure to high precision measuring instruments, e.g. Roughness: contact/noncontact type, Sample preparation for micro structural and hardness studies etc., Promoting innovations through hands on experimentations & Audio-video studies.
