1. Growing IIT-M – Deakin University Partnership
K. Anand, BS Murty, Dan Fabijanic

2. Priorities
Short term / continued rhythm: Outreach in Materials & manufacturing CoE
Seminars and workshops, webinars, Online courses, Linked,in, student internships, more joint PhDs, new expansion opportunities
Expand IITM-Deakin Collaborations, with the industry
Prioritise on high impact verticals for our industries
Sustainable manufacture ( mining to finished product) – Wear, refurbishment, efficient manufacture. pollution control
Light-weighting – through design and materials / manufacturing.
Alloy and Coatings design house
Connect to and drive themes of national importance
Agro waste to energy & fuels, carbon capture and storage, efficient surfaces (+5% efficiency across industry),
Super critical CO2 cycles for power gen and waste heat recovery.

4. Expand IITM+Deakin - industry collaborations

5. Expand IITM+Deakin - industry collaborations
Current COE faculty skills and interests
Emerging themes from
Industry (need to iterate or make a start)
Identify key intersections between
Materials & Manufacturing Themes
Prioritize (March 14)
Drive forward

6. Expand IITM+Deakin - industry collaborations

Nano filled composites. Nano ODS strengthened alloys
Nano luminescent materials, core shell structures, nano strengthened glasses, sensors, embedded sensors, release agents, contrast agents
HEA
Structural alloys, containment alloys, bond coats, corrosion resistance, wear resistance
HEA to replace Ti, Steel and Ni based alloys
Steels (microalloyed, ODS strengthened)
Automotive , power generation boilers, turbomachinery.
-25% weight
Alloy design Tools (NN, DFT, Thermocalc)
Process modeling for reduced defects, extend formability/castability
HEA composition design for strength, LCF, Creep, Oxidation resistance and ductility
Al, Mg, HEA, steel and Ni based alloys with >20% weight reduction
Welding, Hardfacing, coatings
Repair / refurbishment / durable& functional surfaces: focus on mining and deformation processes for repair, functional surfaces for emissions control
Bond coats, wear resistant hardfacing and coatings, corrosion resistant coatings (sour gas, chlorides).
Advanced Manufacturing &process simulation tools (sheet metal, casting, welding, coating, AM)
Cross cutting competency that helps drive manufacturing throughput and efficiency, enables new storage architectures, makes light weight structures possible and enables higher efficiency products

7. Prioritize & Implement
Strongest skill sets + strongest industry / country wide pulls
Identify at least one potential project in the following categories (Q2 goal)/ drive it to a collaborative program (Q3 goal)
Sustainable mining to manufacture – SME / MSME reach out,. Specific consultancy with automotive and mechanical deformation process industries.
Light weighting: Leverage on going linkages with automotive companies to identify one collaborative project with direct funding or Imprint / UAY vehicles
Alloy & Coatings Design – modelling driven and experimentally backed design tools that helps us tailor materials for specific property requirement (example gamma prime strengthened HEAs, wear & oxidation resistant HEA coatings)
Functional materials – Bio materials for implants, smart materials for sensors and actuation, luminescent materials for power to lighting conversion or vice versa.

8. Connect to and drive themes of national importance Agro waste to energy & fuels, carbon capture and storage, efficient surfaces (+5% efficiency across industry), Super critical CO2 cycles for power gen and waste heat recovery.

9. Longer term programs that fill national missions
Stay aligned to national mission statements
Look for national / global funding vehicles
Prepare whitepapers and form proposal writing teams
Aim for at least three proposal submissions by 2019.

10. Potential Areas… Agro waste to energy & fuels
