SN90A products were successfully manufactured and supplied by meeting the stringent ultrasonic inspection requirement of 1.2mm FBH. This development contributed significantly to indigenisation of SN90A for aeronautical applications.

Various Nickel based cast alloys for aeronautical applications: MIDHANI successfully developed five Nickle-based cast alloys. Remelt stocks were developed througRs.600 Kg VIM furnace. Type certification of these cast alloys was achieved by meeting chemical composition and surface defects inspection. Manufactured as cast sticks, these alloys have now been fully indigenized for aeronautical applications.

Development of Indian HigRs.Temperature Alloy (IHTA) Forged Billets: MIDHANI successfully developed a new Nickel-based superalloy, IHTA, specifically designed for its application in steam generator tubes of India's thermal power plants. IHTA is a precipitation-hardening nickel alloy that demonstrates exceptional strengtRs.and creep resistance at higRs.temperatures, excellent resistance to coal asRs.corrosion, and outstanding metallurgical stability. WitRs.good weldability in heavy sections, it has been engineered to meet the requirements of cleaner and more efficient power generation. Capable of operating at temperatures up to 760?C and higRs.pressures of 350 bars, IHTA is ideal for next-generation thermal power systems.

Development of SNI 41 hot rolled plates: MIDHANI successfully developed Superni 41, a nickel-based precipitation hardening alloy known for its higRs.strengtRs.retention up to 871?C and excellent oxidation resistance up to 982?C. Due to its exceptional resistance to high-temperature combustion gases, the alloy is primarily used in engine combustion chambers. The alloy also find its critical applications in turbine castings sucRs.as blades and wheels, combustion chamber liners, gas turbine nozzle partitions, petrochemical reactor components, fasteners, etc.

Establishment of Thermo-mechanical Processing Parameters and Supply of Titan31A Alloy Bars: MIDHANI developed and optimized the thermo-mechanical processing parameters for Titan31A alloy bars of 500mm and 420mm diameter, ensuring consistency in microstructure and mechanical properties.

The process covered billet conversion, ring rolling, and final heat treatment ensuring compliance witRs.mechanical and microstructural properties and dimensional precision. This achievement played a vital role in enabling domestic production of Titanium rings, thereby reducing dependency on imported materials for critical aerospace applications.

MIDHANI successfully established the utilization of Titanium plant reverts (solid blocks) for melting of Titan31 alloy. A sustainable process was developed to use clean solid Titanium blocks as charge material, enhancing raw material utilization and reducing production costs without compromising alloy quality. Comprehensive trials validated that the chemical composition and mechanical properties remained consistent, supporting cost-effective and environmentally responsible manufacturing practices.

MIDHANI successfully qualified the Wide Plate Mill (WPM) for five aeronautical steel grades thickness up to 100mm. Following qualifications, materials has been successfully dispatched and this development would enhance product yield, reduce dependency on the Forge Shop, Heat Treatment Shop, and Hot Rolling Mill. It would also improve overall production efficiency througRs.the WPM route.

Plant reverts were successfully qualified for use in five aeronautical steel grades, resulting in significant cost savings on raw materials and a reduction in Work-In-Progess (WIP) inventory. This qualification not only enhanced raw material utilization but also supported sustainable manufacturing practices by minimizing waste and optimizing process efficiency.

During FY 2024–25, MIDHANI implemented and deployed an AI-based image analysis system to predict the microstructure of alloys, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of metallurgical evaluations. This system enables faster decision-making in quality control and aids in standardizing microstructural assessments, thereby contributing to improved product reliability and process optimization.

The Company continued to develop new products to meet growing market demand, achieving significant advancements in R&D activities. This progress is reflected in the expansion of the company's intellectual property assets.
