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.
4
Metallurgy
Study of Chemical metallurgy includes:
Mineral processing
Extraction of metals
Thermodynamics
Electrochemistry and chemical degradation (corrosion).
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.
7
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.
9
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
