Introduction to MPM dept.

The dept. of MPM encompasses
programs concerned with finding,
production, management and utilization
of mineral resources, Oil and Gas.

One of the strong points in this dept. is
the interaction between various groups
within and outside the department.

members and the topics of their
research work address industry
problems.
3. Metallurgical Engineering Division
Metallurgical Engineering embraces
science and technology of making and
treating of metals and alloys.
 Physics and chemistry of metals are the
foundation of this specialty which is
applied to industries including iron and
steel making, aluminum industry,
foundries, heat treatment shops and
nuclear fuel cycle.


industry is taken as the subjects of
M.Sc. And Ph.D. thesis and helps and
development of the industry.
 Short term projects in topics like local
manufacturing, failure analysis and
corrosion control are normal business of
the faculty members.

Rocks



3.
Rocks are naturally occurring solids
composed of one or more minerals.
Rocks are identified by the minerals they
contain and are grouped according to their
origin into three major classes:
Sedimentary
Igneous
Metamorphic
Sedimentary rocks are formed from:(1) the weathering and transport of pre-existing
rocks
(2) the chemical precipitation of sediments
Examples of sedimentary rocks are Limestone
Igneous rocks result from the cooling of molten
rock or magma to create rocks like Granites
Metamorphic rocks have been physically and
mineralogically changed by heat and pressure to form
another type of rock; for example, the sedimentary rock
limestone will become the metamorphic rock Marble
Minerals
Definitions of Minerals

Geology definition:a naturally occuring in organic element or compound have orderly
internal structure and characteristic chemical composition, crystal
form, and physical.

Economic definitions:when economists, engineers, and scientists use the
word "mineral" in an economic context, they generally
use the terms "industrial minerals" or "mineral
resources." The term "mineral resources" refers to
the occurrence of any mineral commodity that could be
removed from the ground.
Class set of

Ilmenite
Barite
Muscovite
Mining Methods
Open
Pit Surface Mine
The definition of a open pit mine is "an excavation or
cut made at the surface of the ground for the purpose of
extracting ore and which is open to the surface for the
duration of the mine’s life.

Underground mining
Underground mining involves the excavation of
tunnels and rooms beneath Earth's surface.
Compared to surface mining, underground mining is
expensive and dangerous.

M1 & M2 – strength of the respective
poles.
r–
distance between poles.
2) Gravity Surveying :
F=G

)
3) Seismic Surveying .
4) Remote Sensing:
 Collection of data without the actual contact
of the object . ( aeromagnetic & gravity ) .
 Useful for topographic mapping specially in
desert areas
 When used in conjunction with other
techniques such as gravity & magnetic , it
may delineate anomalies that deserve further
attention on the ground

Nano Materials Automotive example


Nanopowders and
coatings will
increase
durability of
paint coatings
Carbon nanotubes based
alloys are being examined
as a replacement for
automobile frames due to
their high strength and
reduced weight

The unique combination of stiffness and toughness of
nanopolymer composites will make these lightweight materials
ideal substitutes for steel in automobiles. Additionally,
nanopolymer composite panels enables electrostatic
painting, greatly reducing paint costs and environmental
issues
Nano-scale metal oxide
ceramic catalysts will
further reduce harmful
emissions

Nano-catalysts and
membrane technologies
will play critical role in
making fuel cells
economically viable and
replacing the internal
combustion engine
