Central Mechanical Workshop Metallurgy and Foundry Standard and Calibration
Metallurgy
& Foundry Division has carried out activities related to material analysis
for metal & alloys, Steels, Cast Iron, Brass, Bronze, Aluminium & Tin alloys
for different elements like Copper, Nickel, Tin, Iron, Manganese, Chromium,
Lead, Carbon & Sulphur. The analysis has been carried out by wet method of
analysis and instrumental methods of analysis such as Microprocessor based
Carbon & Sulphur Analyzer (Eltra -100), Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer
(Perkin-Elmer) and UV - Visible Spectrophotometer. The facilities has been
utilized by various industries in and around Chandigarh like Punjab Tractor
Ltd., Swaraj Combine Division, Gilard Electronics Ltd., Panjab
Bio-chemicals.
Large number of Edible oil
samples have been analyzed for the determination of metallic impurities like
Copper, Nickel & Iron. Analysis of other organic compounds in edible oils
have been carried out using Gas Chromatographic method. This work relates
to mission mode programme, Technology Mission Oil Seeds Pulses & Maize.
Number of adsorption studies of different dyes on polyaniline have been
carried out. The adsorption has been studied using UV – Visible
Spectrophotometer.
Metallography facilities
are being used for analysis the various components for measuring the depth
of carborization, surface structure, cracks and failure analysis of
components.
