I Highly rate this Branch For Engg. 2010+ for a bright career. A GO FOR IT …..
Engineering degree is like a dream achieved. Once you are through with the first barrier of
Pre Engineering Entrance examinations and have secured a merit position, you land up into a
bigger level of challenge and confusion in your life-- which branch to study in?
♣ ********++++@@$
♣ Metallurgy Engg.
$##
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 i.e. development 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.
Course Duration:
Education Stream:
Science
• Problem-solving skills and analytical ability to determine the properties and best uses of
metals and other materials
• Practical and technical skills, particularly for doing metal failure investigation work
• Excellent written and oral communication skills
• Report writing skills
• Research skills
• Planning and organizational skills.
• Metallurgists should also keep up to date with the latest research developments and
laboratory techniques.
What Does a Metallurgical Engineer do?
Metallurgical engineers extract, refine, and recycle metals. They solve problems such as
reducing corrosion, maintaining heat levels, and increasing the strength of a product.
They help develop or improve metals that are used in healthcare, transportation, defense, and in
the entertainment industry.
The work of a metallurgical engineer impacts most other engineering fields as they develop core
materials that can enhance the function of many products and systems.
Work Prospects:
Metallurgical engineers are employed in many industries and work for companies that refine,
produce, manufacture and distribute metals. Because metals are used in so many industries,
employment can be in large companies or small consulting firms.
Salary ranges for metallurgical engineers are usually categorized under the materials engineering
discipline in salary surveys. Based on this summarization, graduates with degrees in
metallurgical engineering can expect salary offers of about $50,000.
Approx 22+ Lakhs Globally..For IITs…… (With Experience 5+years => 40Laks to crores)
There are very few accredited metallurgical engineering programs. Thus, employment rates for
those graduating with a bachelor’s degree in metallurgical engineering are extremely high.
Metallurgical engineering has a wide scope. Basically, metallurgy is science and technology of
metals and materials. After four years, a Metallurgical engineer may get excellent job or may go
further for M.S or M.TECH.
The main drawback of this branch in India is that very few seats are available in India.
So Go for it….
Further studies
You have a lot of options and can generally specialize even during undergraduate coursework.
There is really quite a spectrum of jobs for someone with that type of degree. Some different
industries are:
If you want to go on to work on an MS or PhD, there's a broad range of things you can study as
well:
Alloys
Failure analysis
Ceramics
Corrosion
Welding
Thin films
Mechanical metallurgy
Plastics
These lists are definitely not all inclusive. I hope that this helps. Good luck.
