CSIR-CMERI, Durgapur and IIT-ISM, Dhanbad formally signed a Memorandum of Understanding on 10th March 2026
DG, CSIR visited the Underwater Robotic Test Facility at CSIR-CMERI, Durgapur on 26 February and witnessed a live demonstration of the “Proof of Concept Underwater Homing & Docking System” Contract Research to find out the suitability of graphene as hot forging lubricant.
i) Very stable dispersion of graphene in aqueous/ organic medium preventing the settle down of the lubricant additives.
ii) Reduction of forging loads and resostance to sticking-release properties.
iii) Enhancement of die life as compared to oil or gaphite-based lubricants
iv) Improvement of surface finishing and die life.
v) Cost reduction of the forged products.
vi) Cleaning of the environment as no graphite is deposited on the forge shop floor.
vii) No white deposits on the forging die resulting the reduction of maintenance cost.
