IIT Hyderabad has teamed up with DRDO’s Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory (DMRL) and Hyderabad-based Innomet Advanced Materials to develop India’s first large-scale 100 kg inert gas atomizer. Funded through DRDO’s DIA Centre of Excellence at IIT BHU, the project will create high-purity spherical alloy powders for aerospace, defence, additive manufacturing, and strategic applications. Set up at Innomet’s premises, the facility will also support DRDO and IIT Hyderabad research for five years and scale from an earlier 10 kg success.
