Metallurgy
Definition:
A mining engineering discipline.
Study of :
Physical and Chemical behavior of metallic elements
Their inter-metallic compounds
And and their mixtures(Alloys).
A specialist practitioner of metallurgy is known as
a Metallurgist.

Metallurgy
Metallurgy is subdivided into:
Chemical metallurgy:

Concerned
 with the reduction and oxidation of metals.
Physical metallurgy:
Concerned with physical properties of metals and alloys.
Mainly deals with mechanical and magnetic/electric/thermal properties of metals.

Metallurgy
Study of Chemical metallurgy includes:
 Mineral processing
 Extraction of metals
 Thermodynamics
 Electrochemistry and chemical degradation (corrosion).

Study of Physical metallurgy includes:


 Crystallography
 Material characterization
 Mechanical metallurgy
 Phase transformations and failure mechanisms.

Metallurgy
 Traditional areas:
 Metallurgy in traditional areas include:

 Mineral processing

 Metal production

 Heat treatment

 Failure analysis
 And the joining of metals (including welding,
brazing, and soldering).
6

Metallurgy
Emerging areas:
Emerging areas for metallurgists include:
 Nanotechnology
 Superconductors
 Composites
 biomedical materials
 Electronic materials (semiconductors)
 And surface engineering.

Metallurgy
Welding:
Welding is a process that joins metals by using high heat to
melt the parts together and allowing them to cool.
A filler material is typically added to form a molten material
that cools to form a joint that, can be stronger than the parent metal.
Metallurgy 8

Types of Welding:
 Robot Welding:
Robot welding is the use of mechanized programmable tools
(robots), which completely automate a welding process by both
performing the weld and handling the part.

Metallurgy
Friction stir welding:
 Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining process that uses a
non-consumable tool to join two facing workpieces without melting the
workpiece material.
10

Metallurgy
Laser beam welding:
 Laser beam welding (LBW) is a welding technique used to join pieces
of metal or thermoplastics through the use of a laser. The beam
provides a concentrated heat source, allowing for narrow, deep welds
and high welding rates.
11

Metallurgy
Applications of Welding:
 Automotive
 Railroad
 Piping,boilers,and storage tanks
 Laboratory equipments
 Aircraft Construction
 Beam Production
 Structural shapes and cylinders etc
