Introduction to the Research Deputy

Currently, the research scope of :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} is very extensive, and the center is proud to have provided research-based, knowledge-based, and industrial services to various agencies, organizations, and companies since its establishment.

In this regard, some of the most important activities of the center include identification and verification of imported goods, estimation of industrial component lifespan, investigation of causes of failure and damage, reverse engineering and prototyping, engineering design and simulation, coating and corrosion resistance enhancement, prolonging component lifespan, and optimization of production processes and design. These services are mainly provided in three research groups: Foundry, Materials Identification and Selection, and Corrosion and Coating, although the center’s services are not limited to these areas.

Enabling efficient production at smaller scales, increasing the variety of products in each industrial unit, reducing production cycles, increasing production and research-related costs, shortening the time gap between R&D and product launch, and accelerating product replacement are among the features of modern industrial organization systems.

The existence of competitive conditions in the domestic market and providing a suitable platform for the formation of industrial networks and strengthening inter-institutional collaborations at domestic and international levels are essential requirements for developing modern industrial organization methods. In the path of achieving new technologies, leading industrial economies primarily rely on Research and Development (R&D), and developing products with advanced technical knowledge or delivering industrial productions with high efficiency and low waste is not possible without reliance on R&D.

The Research and Development department of :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}, utilizing experienced industrial experts, specialists, and professors active in diverse fields of materials engineering and technology, enables the execution of research and industrial development projects in areas such as optimizing production processes, prolonging industrial component lifespan, part design and alloy selection for specialized industrial applications, reverse engineering, providing production methods and technical knowledge for parts and machinery, and compiling technical datasheets for components.

The research projects carried out at this center have mainly focused on optimizing production processes, increasing efficiency and reducing waste, designing and selecting specific alloys for specialized applications, extending component lifespan, replacing imported raw materials with domestic alternatives, and achieving technology and technical knowledge for production.

In this context, :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2} has collaborated with various industries, including oil, gas, and petrochemical, power and energy, foundry and machinery, iron and steel, automotive and railway, cement, polymer, and biomedical engineering.
