The Research and Development programmes in Materials Science are focused on development of new materials with the underlying objectives of cost reduction, performance improvement and value added products using indigenously available raw materials. Besides, the Centre has built the capacity to adapt imported technologies in Indian environment leading to cost reduction and performance improvement of products. The expertise at the Centre has investigated a large number of component failures which have resulted in better quality products and lower rate of rejection.
