About Us

CSIR National Metallurgical Laboratory (NML) is a premier laboratory within the ambit of Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), New Delhi, a statutory body under Government of India. CSIR National Metallurgical Laboratory Madras Centre (NML-MC) an extension Centre of CSIR NML, over the years has undertaken several R&D projects in the areas of mineral beneficiation, micro-structural characterization and failure analysis of various industrial components. The Centre has developed flow sheets for the beneficiation of ferrous and non-ferrous, industrial minerals which include limestone, feldspar, barites etc. In recent years, the Centre has made significant contributions to the development of column flotation technology for Indian mineral industry. Commercial flotation columns were commissioned for the beneficiation of sillimanite and barites.

Over the years Centre has developed expertise and state-of-the-art facilities to carry out material characterisation and metallurgical failure investigations for various engineering industries like power and automobile sector.

Centre is actively working towards developing value added products from mineral/mine wastes and also provides services for characterisation of tiles, paver blocks and natural building stones.
