BTW this is a huge win for TATA SED and a wake up call for BEL.
First time a pvt company has got an order for a deal of this magnitude, fully justifies TATA SED's expenditure on its mfg. facility. Earlier, this sort of TOT deal was a captive market for BEL.
Second, we are firmly moving away from Russkie 3D "radiator" radars to western ones.
Third, shows still so many "gaps" which LRDE/DRDO have not and cannot fill in the short term, with their resource constraints.

it has > 20% elongation and high impact energy of 78 Joules. It also has high yield strength of 588 Mpa.
This will make excellent penetrator case material as it hs very good weldability.

Welding-HY-Steels refers to processing a family of steels that owe their name to High Yield Strength.
This was the main property designed into the materials as they were developed in the form of thick plates.
That occurred in the sixties of the past century, at the request of the US Navy, mainly for fabrication of ship hulls and submarines.
Within this class, that includes HY-80, HY-100, HY-130 and HY-180, which are high strength and toughness, quenched and tempered, martensitic steels.
The single materials are identified by the numbers that represent their yield strength, expressed in ksi (kilo or 1000 pounds per square inch).
Precautions for Welding-HY-Steels
Welding-HY-Steels of these classes of high impact resistance require strict welding conditions to realize their characteristic potential also in the welds and in their heat affected zone (HAZ).
In particular low hydrogen electrodes should be used, with due precautions in keeping them dry and heating them before use in suitable ovens to drive away any moisture.
Otherwise the welds may become prone to Hydrogen Induced Cracking (HIC).
Furthermore Welding-HY-Steels should be performed with minimal heat input, in small stringers without weaving.
The lower yield steels of this class are welded by SMAW with low hydrogen electrodes of Type E-10018 or E-11018.
The higher yield ones are best welded by GTAW and Plasma arc welding with special filler metals of extremely low impurity levels (oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, sulfur and phosphorus).
For applications requiring Welding-HY-Steels for service exposure to temperatures from 0 to (minus) -195 °C, the ferritic steels with high nickel contents are typically used.
Such applications include storage tanks for liquefied hydrocarbon vapors (gases) and structures or machinery designed for use in cold regions.
These steels utilize the effect of nickel content in reducing the ductile to brittle transition temperature, thereby improving toughness at low temperatures.
Double normalized and tempered 9% nickel steel is covered by ASTM A 353, and quenched and tempered 8% and 9% nickel steels are covered by ASTM A 553 (types I and II).
For quenched and tempered material, the minimum lateral expansion in Charpy V-notch impact tests is specified at 0.38 mm.
These steels remain ductile at the lowest testing temperatures.
The 5% Ni steel retains relatively high fracture toughness at -162 °C and the 9% Ni steel retains relatively high fracture toughness at -196 °C.
These temperatures are the lowest at which these steels may be used, but Welding-HY-Steels requires to develop and follow very strictly suitable welding conditions.
The 5% Ni alloy steels for low-temperature service include HY-130 and ASTM A 645.
Preheating is required for the thicker plates to slow down the cooling rate after welding.
This helps in avoiding HAZ cracking and weld cracking, reducing the amount of untempered martensite, provides the conditions for hydrogen to escape, and limits residual stresses.
Preheating of naval steels of these classes (with a specified minimum yield strength ranging from 80 to 130 ksi) while Welding-HY-Steels is often required to overcome susceptibility to Hydrogen Induced Cracking in the weld heat affected zone (HAZ).
This form of cracking occurs especially in high strength steels that have the potential to form high-carbon twinned martensite when the following conditions are simultaneously present:
a source of dissolved hydrogen;
a susceptible (martensitic) microstructure;
high residual tensile stress;
a temperature range that does not allow significant solid-state diffusion of hydrogen from the steel; and
a time delay following welding that allows hydrogen to accumulate at internal flaws in the steel.
Preheating, interpass temperature control and post weld heating operations, individually or in combination, essentially reduce the dissolved hydrogen content.
This occurs by allowing the hydrogen to escape by diffusion from the steel while also allowing transformation of the weld metal.
More importantly the adjacent HAZ (Heat Affected Zone) becomes a less susceptible microstructure that might reduce the peak residual tensile stress as well.
Nevertheless, preheat, interpass temperature control and post-soak temperature control during Welding-HY-Steels
are quite expensive,
add to welder discomfort
reduce the overall productivity.
It was soon realized that the strict conformance to precise practices, while achieving acceptable properties in Welding-HY-Steels, resulted in low productivity and high fabrication costs, especially for large structures.
Therefore renewed efforts, again initiated by the requirements of the US Navy, resulted in the development of a new family of materials called High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA) steels that allowed more economic fabrication because their modified microstructure is more tolerant of less strict welding conditions.
Apparently the very high cost of the sea wolf subs is attributed to the HY100

Re: India's R&D in Defence DRDO, PSUs and Private Sector
HY_80 and HY-100 are one and the same steel, if you can make one you can make the other too. Problem lies in complexity, risk and cost associated with the welding process not in making the alloy itself. The difference comes from the tempering temperature, higher you go more ductile/weldable/formable/machinable it becomes at the cost of loosing brittleness and yield strength. Just after quench, steel has enormous strength and hardness which makes it useless brittle lump which can than he tempered into different grade of usable products.
HY-80 is gold standard, rest is masa grade maya only.

L&T commisions ICGS Veera ahead of schedule.
Yet again another Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) ICGS Veera for the Indian Coast Guard (ICG) is commissioned ahead of time which has been built by Larsen & Toubro Ltd (L&T) Kattupalli Yard.
The company has been building vessels under Warship License since receiving first Ministry of Defence (MoD) contract in March 2010, all the designing and construction is done in house and indigenously.
As part of the government’s ‘Act East’ policy, the company is also building High-Speed Patrol Vessels for a friendly Nation in the south-east region.
In the case of ICGS Veera, as in other platforms, the built was on and ahead of the contractual schedule and 3rd OPV in the series of seven within a span of 11 months and the 11th platform delivered during the financial year 2018-19. And is built under an MoD contract of 2015.
On these vessels the percentage of completion of pre-outfitting has increased, reducing the overall cycle time, thus enabling to accelerated delivery of defence ships in line with the requirements of the fleet expansion plans of the Indian Navy and the Coast Guard.
As has been reported by the Financial Express Online earlier, the first two vessels ICGS Vikram and ICGS Vijaya was delivered ahead of contractual schedule to ICG last April and August respectively. Fourth of the series OPV was launched in Nov 2018 and is presently being readied for sea trials.
The company has so far made major investments for undertaking indigenous design, manufacturing and construction of advanced defence platforms and systems across multiple newly established work centres dedicated to the defence sector.
It has also undertaken to the upkeep of Indian Naval and Coast Guard fleets by carrying out repairs/refits and upgrades including emergency repairs and inspection using the 21500-ton class Ship Lift at the Yard.

Welcome AJIT, a ‘Made in India’ Microprocessor
https://researchmatters.in/news/welcome ... oprocessor
Some highlights from the article...
https://researchmatters.in/news/welcome ... oprocessor
Some highlights from the article...
IIT Bombay) have developed a new microprocessor called AJIT—the first ever microprocessor to be conceptualised, designed, developed and manufactured in India...first time in the country’s history where the industry, academia and the government have come together
“We have been working on this processor design for more than two years now. The design has been tested on programmable semiconductor chips before we began our effort towards fabricating the processor,” says Prof. Desai.
AJIT is a medium-sized processor. It can be used inside a set-top box, as a control panel for automation systems, in a traffic light controller or even robotic systems
...
will cost as less as ₹100 when it is produced en-masse! AJIT can run one instruction per clock cycle and can operate at clock speeds between 70-120MHz, comparable to its competitors in the market.
- AJIT has been manufactured in the government-owned Semiconductor Laboratory (SCL), Chandigarh, with a technology that offers the smallest building block of the size 180 nanometers
- also plan to commercially manufacture the processor using more advanced techniques that provide the smallest building block of size 65 nm or 45 nm, which is the current state of the art
...
“Fabricating this using 180nm technology is the first step. Although this may not be the state of the art technology, it is enough for most of the targeted applications. Using advanced technology for large manufacturing quantities—tens of lakhs—would bring the cost per piece down”, remarks Prof. Desai.
It’s not done yet; there are tougher challenges ahead for the team to make the processor commercially viable to make this a grand success story. “For AJIT, we need to get more people to use it. Primary tests have indicated that the specifications of the processor match many in the competition and the new processor would also be cost-competitive. If the business community at large would own this processor, build systems around it so that users, as well as supporters, see value in this and can make money from the effort, then this effort can remain sustainable”, says Prof. Desai.
We could push the usage of this new microprocessor by introducing it as a part of the syllabus in engineering colleges. A well-designed single-board computer system could be made available at a low cost for students and other enthusiasts to experiment with”, suggests Prof. Desai
SAMEER (Society for Applied Microwave Electronics Engineering & Research), an independent lab under MeitY, Government if India is planning to use AJIT in the receivers being developed for NAVIC or IRNNS (The Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System), an indigenous navigation system for the Indian subcontinent.

...AJIT, made in India processor"
Good achievement, but is it accurate to say that this is first ever made in India chip/processor? SCL, which is mentioned in the article, has produced several chips before this. There could be another foundry(?) in India that has developed an ASIC in the south.

Re: India's R&D in Defence DRDO, PSUs and Private Sector
Its microprocessor based on SPARC architecture. And yes its true.
its like a 80386 level.
They hope to reduce the size and make it go faster.

RISC-V with Intel's help for fabrication. RISC-V is gaining a lot of momentum and new paradigm in open core development.ramana wrote:ARM based right?
There are a lot of flavours with these cores with minimalistic cores for IoT devices (RTOS/Baremetal) to sophisticated devices with MMU for running Linux.
We need Indian IC design companies to start using these cores even though ARM cores come at a dirt cheap licensing fee.
Re: India's R&D in Defence DRDO, PSUs and Private Sector
It is not enough just to build a chip, one must develop an ecosystem.
If I take an Intel Atmega chip for example, all the tutorials and code examples are already available to me very easily for me to program it in my application. Now this AJIT chip for example , where is the knowledge required on how to use this thing? Where are the development boards, the tutorials and sample projects? I can see 180nm usable for any number of applications which do not require any superfast computing. But it must go beyond just "made a chip, got a newspaper article" kind of thing, which is unfortunately a lot of what our R&D ends up in.

Exactly, we need to leverage this to make commercial products out of these.Smart IoT devices needs 180 nm based chip fab technology and there are many fabs which are ready to leverage their tech to make low cost chips.csaurabh wrote: But it must go beyond just "made a chip, got a newspaper article" kind of thing, which is unfortunately a lot of what our R&D ends up in.

Re: India's R&D in Defence DRDO, PSUs and Private Sector
(generic) Microprocessors is a very extended play game. You need to practically give away demo/sample boards, create and give away extensive libraries for all kinds of peripherals, work with major product players to get design-ins etc and stay on for a very very long time.
The establish players have already recovered all the development cost for their cores, so it is just the silicon and packaging cost they have.
