We are pleased to share that we are organizing a 5-day Hands-on Workshop on Surface Engineering using Cold Spray and Laser Technology from 7th to 11th July 2025 at IIT Ropar under the aegis of the DST AMT Centre of Excellence for Degradation Resistant Thermal Spray Coatings Engineered for Indigenous Industry Applications.

The workshop will entail expert lectures on topics ranging from fundamentals to characterization, performance testing and latest innovations in cold spray technology and laser-based surface engineering techniques – both of which are emerging as increasingly vital processes across a wide range of manufacturing industries.
