B.E - Metallurgy

Metallurgical engineering is a field that explores the extraction and processing of metals and metal alloys.

Metallurgy is a domain of materials science and materials engineering that studies the physical and chemical behaviour of metallic elements, their inter-metallic compounds, and their mixtures, which are called alloys.

Metallurgical engineering is a broad field that deals with all sorts of metal-related areas.

The three main branches of this major are physical metallurgy, extractive metallurgy and mineral processing.

Physical metallurgy deals with problem solving. You will develop the sorts of metallic alloys needed for different types of manufacturing and construction.

Extractive metallurgy involves extracting metal from ore. Mineral processing involves gathering mineral products from the earth's crust.

With a metallurgical engineering major, you will learn the fundamentals of all three fields as well as the basics of engineering in general.

We need metals to make our society function — metals make up important parts of cars, bikes, planes, buildings, even toothpaste tubes. Your knowledge of the production, design, and manufacturing of these metals and mineral products can be rewarding and exciting.

Metallurgical engineering majors study the properties of metals, learn how to design metal parts and solve problems concerning manufacturing.

Students also learn how to test different metals to find out how well they stand up to stress, environmental changes, and other conditions.

Metallurgists are in charge of handling the minerals and developing new alloys. They also develop new methods for processing different kinds of metals.
Features:
A metallurgist can find employment in areas such as mining, oil companies (oil exploration), material exploration, polymer and ceramic industries, mineral processing, chemical and petrochemical industries.
