00:26Hello, I am Dr. Saurabh Mene,
00:28currently associate professor at Department of Materials Engineering, IIT Jodhpur.
00:33Conventional refractory alloys are prone to high temperature oxidation.
00:37They are heavy and at the same time they are brittle. With the help of our complex
00:42lean alloy design strategy, we overcome these drawbacks by synergizing these properties in
00:50one alloy system, thereby developing new niobium rich complex lean alloy.
00:55This niobium rich complex lean alloy shows excellent oxidation resistance at 1000 degree
01:01Celsius while being very lightweight at the same time formable at room temperature.
01:07Another important aspect of this research is that it is conceptualized, fabricated,
01:14designed and tested completely at IIT Jodhpur in an indigenous manner.
01:19This shows our commitment of developing indigenous alloys for self-reliant India.
