A scientific research team from the visited the Production Engineering and Metallurgy Department/ Metallurgical Engineering Branch headed by Prof. Dr.Mona Khudair Abbas, Head of the Department and the membership of Prof. Sami Ibrahim Jaafar and Prof. Dr. Ali Munther Mustafa and Prof. Dr. Maryam Abdel Azim Baqer visited the Oil Research and Development Center of the Ministry of Oil on Wednesday, January 19, 2022, and the delegation was received by the director of the center, Hilal Ali Ismail, and the deputy director of the center, Dr. Muhammad Nasser Hussein, Head of the Iraqi Thought Department for Energy Studies, Director of the Planning and Follow-up Department, Abbas Mahmoud Ali, Director of the Environmental and Corrosion Research Department, Zaidoun Khalaf, and Director of the Analytical Laboratories Department, Dr. Zainab Falah.

Then the director of the center reviewed, in a brief speech, the center's departments, their work, and the duties assigned to each department. Then the director of the center briefed the visiting delegation on the work carried out by the center in terms of research, studies and examinations in various axes of the oil industry, stressing the importance of scientific communication between the center and the University of Technology in order to exchange ideas. The strategic center of the center and praised the department’s initiative to visit the center to set the frameworks and contents for a real joint cooperation that makes the university’s research and graduate students draw from the reality of national industries, including the oil industries..

On the other hand, Dr. Mona Khudair Abbas said that the visit came to embody the directions of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research adopted by the University of Technology in giving priority to the research of graduate students and the research of professors that serve government companies, mixed sector companies and the private sector in an effort to raise the level of productivity and performance coefficients and achieve sustainable development for the Iraqi national capabilities to solve Work problems and striving to develop production processes by relying on the national staff and in cooperation with universities, including the University of Technology. It also welcomed the point of view of the Director of the Center on the need for scientific cooperation and the consolidation of joint relations between the Oil Research and Development Center and the University of Technology and to benefit from the joint scientific expertise and laboratories of the Center and the laboratories of the Production Engineering Department and minerals and building bridges of effective cooperation for joint action.

At the end of the visit, the Director of Planning with the research team made an inspection tour of the center’s laboratories to see the equipment and the tests carried out by the center, whether for the Ministry of Oil or other ministries. The team members were provided with copies of the center’s book, which contained a historical overview of the center’s history and the most important research, studies and works undertaken He completed it during his career starting in 1992, in addition to pictures and definitions of the center's laboratories. At the end of the visit, he bid farewell to the research team, hoping to sign a memorandum of understanding between the two parties.

A faculty member from Production Engineering and Metallurgy Department participates in the discussion of a master's thesis at the College of Engineering / Al-Khwarizmi

Share Dr. Aqil Sabri Baden, a faculty member in the Department / Computer-assisted Design and Manufacturing Engineering Branch, in the discussion of a master’s thesis in the College of Engineering / Al-Khwarizmi, which was entitled: (The optimal choice of variables for the process of cumulative point formation of aluminum (A1050 .. for the student (Dina Amer Mousa)) from the College of Engineering Al-Khwarizmi, Department of Automated Manufacturing Engineering, in the Central Graduate Studies Discussion Hall at the college, on Monday 17/1/2022. The committee was headed by Dr. Ahmed Abdel-Sami’ Al-Droubi), a lecturer at Al-Nahrain University, the membership of each of (Dr. Aqil Sabri Baden , Dr. Karim Neama Salloumi) at the College of Engineering / Al-Khwarizmi , supervised by ( Dr. Ahmed Zaidan Muhammad) and (Dr. Nizar Qais Muhammad) from the Faculty of Engineering Al-Khwarizmi.

The committee listened to the student, the conclusion of her research was to improve the surface roughness, wall angle deviation, and average wall thickness as output responses of 1050 aluminum alloy cone formed from one point additional sheet metal forming process. Experiments were performed based on a Taguchi mixed experimental design with L18 orthogonal matrix. Six levels of step depth, three levels of tool diameter, feed rate, and tool rotational speed were considered as parameters of the input process. Analyzes of variance (ANOVA) were used to verify the significance of parameters and the effect of their levels for minimum surface roughness, minimum wall angle deviation, and maximum mean wall thickness. The results indicated that step depth and tool rotation speed are the most important parameters in the output responses. The expected optimal values ​​for surface roughness, average wall thickness and wall angle deviation were 0.6363 μm, 0.9442 mm and 0.0994°, respectively. The results were validated through empirical matches, and after listening, the committee decided to accept its research and announce the degree obtained by the student, which was very good.
