- Madras (IIT-M) announced its collaboration with American conglomerate General Electric (GE) to set up a lab that will develop advanced services technology for aircraft engine components.
- The 'Cold Spray' SMART (Surface Modification and Additive Research Technologies) Laboratory is the first-of-its-kind being installed in any academic institute in India.
- It is an emerging technology for advanced manufacturing and services and will be utilised to co-develop processes for aero-engine applications.
- Cold spray technology is different from other widely used thermal spray processes in that there is no melting and oxidation of powders.
- Thus, high quality coatings can be produced.
