Laboratory Services in Mining, Metallography Fields Provided in Iran
“This laboratory has four departments of hydrometallurgy, analysis of sample production, laboratory services, and taking projects outside the university to diagnose and settle problems in industries,” Mehdi Salimi said.
Noting that a wide range of services, tests and analyzes are performed in the laboratory, he said, “X-ray diffraction device with the purpose of preparing the spectrum and diffraction pattern, determining the phase and crystal structure, determining the size of nanometer particles in special conditions by using the Scherer method, measurement of crystal spheres, quantometer device with the ability of emission spectroscopy applicable in metal analysis, performing quantometry of iron-based samples (steel and cast iron) and non-ferrous samples and laser powder size determination device to determine powder size in a range of 200 microns to two mm and in a range of nearly 20 nm are parts of the equipment used in the laboratory.”
Salimi referred to the metallographic equipment existing in the laboratory, and said, “This equipment is also used to determine the type and percentage of phases, the grain size, the thickness of coating and the depth of the hardened layer in the welding metallography.”
Iran has taken long strides in production of different laboratory equipment.
In December, 12 technological products were unveiled on the sidelines of the 10th international exhibition of Iran-made laboratory equipment and materials.
The 10th exhibition of Iran-made laboratory equipment and materials and the 23rd exhibition of achievements of research, technology and tech-market were inaugurated in the presence of Iranian Vice-President for Science and Technology Rouhollah Dehqani Firouzabadi, Minister of Science, Research and Technology Mohammad Ali Zolfigol and President of University Jihad Hassan Moslemi Nayeeni.
Twelve Iran-made products in the field of laboratory equipment and materials were unveiled during the exhibition, including animal aspect imaging system, laparoscopic surgery simulator, dental training simulator, x-ray-based printed circuit board inspection device, hyperspectral infrared microscope - visible, dynamic light scattering device, precious metals analysis device and gold grade meter, sequence finder, nanocapsules and nanoliposomes with a high production rate, 3D optical nanometer level gauge, non-destructive inspection robot of towing wire by using the magnetic flux leakage method, and smart manifold device.
