Seven Decades of Metallurgical Excellence—CSIR-NML
摘要
The National Metallurgical Laboratory was established in the year preceding independence, for research and development in all areas of minerals, metals and materials. It has played a significant role in the industrial revolution of India starting from 1950, especially in the areas of mineral processing, iron and steel making, ferroalloys and extraction of non-ferrous metals. It has pioneered the production of ferroalloys, sponge iron and magnesium in the country. Its recent achievements include several developments to improve the quality of steel produced by secondary melters, coal beneficiation, strategic metals such as tungsten, sodium, gadolinium and lithium, and effluent management, several developments for metal artisans, and various skill development initiatives.
