Aluminum is truly the metal of modem life. As the sustainable material of choice, its applications span from everyday items like fuel-efficient vehicles, smart phones, zippers and foil to wiring the nation's power grid and housing the International Space Station. Being lightweight, durable and highly recyclable, aluminum has become an essential element of daily life.
Now, Economic considerations drive us to produce lower-cost metal (recycling) and improvised process mainly driven by the selection of alloy, process, and product form to the low-cost functional alternative. Our relentless efforts in the areas of assimilating information, operating practices, experience from different industries, enhancing industries-institute interactions is the best way to get enriched through different activities in highlighting emerging challenges and opportunities. Being a part of IIM society, it helps us to gain knowledge, skills and experience of the Metallurgical Fraternity, expert lectures series and other activities through this professional body.
Being part of IIM (Indian Institute of Metals), a reputed institution devoted to promotion and advancement in the study and research of metallurgical science and technology, the objective of our Chapter is to provide a forum to facilitate interaction between the R&D experts and the captains of industry and promoting and advancing the science and technology of metals and alloys and act as knowledge sharing sessions for IIM members.
As the Chairman of IIM Angul Chapter, having about 253 life members and approximately 60 student members, it's my privilege to serve the Metallurgical fraternity of this region for which I am thankful to all of you for giving me this opportunity and I request all the members to participate in conducting technical talks, quizzes and various other activities to spread awareness about the advances that are taking place in the field of Material Science and technological developments in all forms of science in enriching this chapter and this website.
