Welcome to CSIR-AMPRI dedicated Sophisticated Analytical Instrument Facility to Provide High Quality Analytical Services to Researchers
CSIR-AMPRI is equipped with up to date R&D facilities in the area of material synthesis, processing and characterization. Some more sophisticated facilities are also in a process of being set up at the institute in order to carry out material processing and characterization with an improved degree of precision, especially with regard to nano structured material development. Keeping application in mind, the R&D facilities have been grouped as the ones meant for mechanical, physical, chemical, thermal, electrical, rheological & tribological property characterization. Other sets of facilities include those for powder processing, primary processing like melting, secondary processing such as heat treatment & deformation, and micro structural studies.

Guidelines to use the above equipment’s :
- Contact Analytical HRTEM Laboratory staff to discuss procedure and safety training.
Terms And Condition for Metal 3D Printer are as follows :
- Metal/alloy powder shall be provided by user.
- CSIR-AMPRI will not be responsible for characterisitc properties of 3D printed components, as metal powder is procured from a third party.
- Samples/results will be delivered within 30 days after receiving the powder.
- Suitability of printing an alloy needs to be discussed with facility In-charge before taking the order/service.
- Printing of an alloy involves parameter optimization for printing; therefore actual time of printing may be higher in some cases, from the software calculated one.
