The Managing Director of Hindalco Industries, Mr Satish Pai, has been named the President of the Indian Institute of Metals (IIM).
IIM is an adequate body for professional metallurgists in India. It was formed as early as 1945 and was possible through the efforts of a few metallurgists. Since then, the growth of the Institute has been phenomenal. Starting with a modest membership of 42, the IIM Membership stands for more than 10,000 drawn from various fields of metallurgical activity.
The 77th Annual Technical Meeting of the Indian Institute of Metals (IIM-ATM) and International Conference on Metals will take place on November 22-24, 2023. IIM Sambalpur, IIM Angul and Hindalco Industries will organise the chapter, and the venue selected is KIIT, Bhubaneswar, Odisha.
The flagship annual event, IIM-ATM, is a one-of-a-kind platform where relevant people from all major industry sectors, academia, and R&D institutes from across India convene to discuss future advancements and development initiatives. The participating metallurgists and material scientists/engineers will share a wealth of knowledge, speak about their extensive experiences, and exchange ideas.
The International Conference will highlight contemporary, relevant topics such as green manufacturing, strategic and rare metals, additive manufacturing and accelerated materials development. There will be various themes covering all the crucial and emerging topics of interest that benefit the industrial community at large. The valuable deliberations and presentations during the conference would also immensely benefit the research community in the field of metals and materials.
The IIM-ATM 2023 will also feature a technical exposition, a metallography competition with that theme, and the presentation of the IIM Awards.
Mr Satish Pai, Managing Director of Hindalco Industries Ltd., will be in attendance as the incoming President of the Indian Institute of Metals 2023-24, and Dr Samir V. Kamat, Chairman of DRDO, will be in attendance as the President of the Indian Institute of Metals 2022-23.
