Nagpur: In a unique confluence of hands-on experience, scientific insight, and cutting-edge technology, a two-day workshop titled 'Aluminium – Metallurgy and Advanced Techniques in Casting and Heat Treatment (AL-MATCH)' was jointly organised by JNARDDC and VNIT on June 21-22.
Held at the VNIT and JNARDDC campuses, the workshop was a rare blend of the foundry man's instinct, the scientist's precision, and technology's potential.
The inaugural session was graced by Dr Prem Lal Patel, director of VNIT Nagpur, as chief guest, accompanied by Dr Anupam Agnihotri, director of JNARDDC; Dr DR Peshwe, head of the department, metallurgical & materials engineering, VNIT; and RN Chouhan, head, recycling promotion division, JNARDDC.
With over 75 enthusiastic participants representing aluminium recyclers, utensil manufacturers, foundry experts, extrusion houses, and young research scholars, the workshop became a melting pot of knowledge and practice. Through live demonstrations, technical sessions, and immersive lab work, participants gained insights into casting science, heat treatment processes, defect analysis, and alloy performance.

The highlight of the second day was a guided exposure to the poly aluminium chloride (PAC) dross facility at JNARDDC by Dr Upendra Singh, followed by a deep-dive discussion on the Bureau of Indian Standards' quality control orders, compliance in secondary aluminium production, and the path towards sustainability in recycling.
The AL-MATCH workshop was not just another training event — it was a celebration of collaboration between industry veterans, academic leaders, and R&D innovators, creating a platform where experience meets evidence, and knowledge translates into practice.
Given the overwhelming response and demand, JNARDDC has announced a second edition of AL-MATCH, planned on a PAN-India scale in partnership with IIT Hyderabad.
