B.Tech (Metallurgical Engineering)

Metallurgical engineering deals with separating metals from their ores and preparing them for use. In extractive metallurgy, engineers remover metals from their ores and refine them to a pure state. Engineers in physical metallurgy develop methods for converting refined metals into useful finished products. Most metallurgical engineers work in one of the three main branches of metallurgy-extractive or chemical, physical and mechanical or process. Extractive metallurgists are concerned with removing metals from ores and refining and alloying them to obtain useful metal. Physical metallurgists study the nature, structure, and physical properties of metals and their alloys, and methods of processing metals into final products. Mechanical metallurgists develop and improve metalworking processes such as casting, forging , rolling and drawing.
