What is metallurgical engineering?

Metallurgical engineering is an applied subject, which studies extracting valuable metals or their compounds from ores and processing them into materials with good performance. Cultivate professionals in metallurgical engineering fields such as scientific research and development, engineering design and implementation, technical research and technical transformation, popularization and application of new technologies, engineering planning, metallurgical enterprise management, etc.

The scope of metallurgical engineering can be divided into ferrous metallurgy and nonferrous metallurgy.

From the research direction and technical nature, it can be subdivided into:

Physical and chemical theory and application of (1) metallurgical process and material synthesis.

(2) Comprehensive utilization of mineral resources and environmental protection during smelting.

(3) Design and construction of technology, equipment and production system in iron and steel smelting.

(4) Solidification processing technology.

(5) Simulation of metallurgical process.

(6) Pure steel manufacturing technology.

(7) Analysis and comprehensive integration of steel manufacturing process.

(8) Principle, technology and application of electrochemical metallurgy in nonferrous metallurgy, and application of solid-state ionics and related theories in metallurgy and materials.

(9) Hydrometallurgy and powder engineering in the process of nonferrous metallurgy.

(10) Development and application of non-ferrous metal functional materials.
