The Advanced Materials Laboratory (AML) in the Department of Materials Engineering at IUT is established to promote applied research activities focusing on the synthesis of advanced materials including high-tech Ni-based superalloys, smart materials and advanced high-strength steels.
The following set-ups have been designed and manufactured in the AML based on several research projects supported by Iran National Science Foundation, Educational and Research Institute of Iran, Iran Nanotechnology Inititative, etc.:
1) Bridgman Directional/Single Crystal Solidification System
(Sponsored by Mapna-Parto Engineering Co., Tehran, Iran)
2) Electromagnetic Levitation Gas Condensation System
(Sponsored by Education & Research Institute, Tehran, Iran)
3) Copper-Boat Vacuum Induction Melting System
(Sponsored by Iran National Science Foundation)
