Department of Materials Engineering
International & Scientific Cooperation Office (ISCO)
The Department of Materials Engineering
offers the degree of Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Extractive Metallurgy and Industrial
Metallurgy, the degree of Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Identification and Selection of Materials,
Extractive Metallurgy, Casting and Corrosion
and Protection of Materials and the
degree of PhD in Materials Engineering and Biomaterials.
Research Activities
The Department of Materials Engineering comprises the two fields of Industrial Metallurgy and Extractive Metallurgy.
One of the special strengths of the Department is its exceptionally well defined relations with a variety of major metallurgical industries such as Isfahan Steel Mill and Mobarakeh Steel Complex. Since Isfahan province plays a major role in industrialization of the country, the department's principal area of research interest is directly related to the needs of the local and national metal industries.
Process
Metallurgy
The field concerns with both Industrial and Extractive Metallurgy and basically targets the treatments required for the molten metal in order to achieve quality evaluation and optimization.
Research studies consist
of heat, mass and momentum transfer aspects in metallurgical engineering such
as heat pipe technology, thermal analysis
of alloys during solidification, kinetic dissolution of master alloys, study of
rate controlling stages in multi-stage processes such as steelmaking, alloying
etc.
Development of
mathematical models and the construction of some physical models are also of
interest.
Solidification
and casting of metals
Research on solidification and casting of metals is focused on the advanced processing, characterization and computer simulation of non-ferrous and ferrous alloys. The main areas of interest currently undertaken includes semisolid processing (rheocasting, thixocasting and thixoforming), squeeze casting, ultrasonic treatment of the melt, cast metal matrix composites (vortex, compocast, infiltration and in-situ methods), hot-tearing susceptibility of cast alloys, reduction of auto-parts casting defects, directional solidification studies, optimization of cast-on–strap process for the production of lead-acid auto-batteries, simulations of casting and foundry practices, real time study of solidification of transparent organic materials, …
