Metallurgy

This specialization covers metals from ore to finished alloy: mineral beneficiation and extraction by pyrometallurgical, hydrometallurgical and electrometallurgical routes, iron and steelmaking including the blast furnace and secondary refining, and then physical metallurgy -- phase diagrams, TTT and CCT behaviour, heat treatment, and the structure and properties of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. Mechanical working and failure analysis complete it.
