Biography
Dr. R. Vijay worked at Non Ferrous Materials Technology Development Centre (NFTDC) from 1992 to 1994 on development and setting up of a pilot plant facility for “Extraction of Molybdenum from Molybdenite Concentrate”. After joining International Advanced Research Centre for Powder Metallurgy and New Materials (ARCI) as a scientist in 1994, he has been working on Mechanical Alloying, electrode materials for Li-ion/Na-ion batteries, Oxide Dispersion Strengthened Steels, High Temperature Materials, Simoloyer Technology, Powders for Additive Manufacturing and Coatings, Biodegradable Materials, Hydrogen Storage Materials and Heat Pipe based Heat Transfer devices. Presently he is Director of ARCI.
As a head of Nanomaterials division, he led the programmes for the development of electrode materials (lithium iron phosphate and lithium titanate) for lithium ion batteries for electric vehicles, super capacitors, nano-oxide dispersion strengthened iron aluminides for steam and gas turbine blades, Fe-Mn alloys for biodegradable implants, dispersion strengthened tungsten for Jet Wane applications, nano aluminium and nano boron powders as additives to solid propellant and jet fuels and large scale production of nano powders. He played a very important role in development, demonstration and transfer of
technologies for the production of battery grade lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode material for Li-ion batteries, dispersion strengthened tungsten plates for defence applications, oxide dispersion strengthened steel clad tubes for fast breeder reactor, lead free copper alloys for bimetal bearings and heat pipe based heat sinks. He is also associated with transfer of silica aerogel based thermal insulation sheets technology. He has initiated new activities on development of bio-degradable implants and powders for additive manufacturing and surface engineered coatings.
