WELCOME TO METALLURGICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT

Metallurgy is the area of materials science that focuses on metals, compounds formed from metals, and the mixtures of metals which are known as alloys. Metallurgical engineering is where refining ends and production begins. This means mixing metals together in order to form alloys which share the appropriate combination of traits such as strength and weight. The goal of metallurgical engineering is to find the right balance of properties such as weight, strength, hardness, toughness, and resistance to rust, fatigue, and extreme temperatures.

WHY WE STUDY METALLURGY?

Metallurgical engineers play a key role in ensuring the sustainability of our modern society. It is the role of the metallurgical engineer to develop, design and operate processes that transform these low value raw materials into useful high value mineral and metal products.
