Metallurgy Scope

Metallurgical engineers have opportunities both in India and abroad. They can be hired by public sector companies like DRDO, ISRO, SAIL and Indian Railway etc. Professionals in this career can also opt for teaching jobs in universities and colleges. Candidates with B.Tech and M.Tech degree in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering from IITs/NITs can be hired by Top Metal Manufacturing companies, Electrical companies, R & D Labs, Construction companies, Fabrication units, Metal extraction units and Engineering workshops etc. metallurgical and materials engineering job profile :- The typical job description of 1. Metallurgical and Materials Engineer involves.
2. Conducting research and development
3. Developing processing plants
4. Supervise production processes
5. Assuring the quality of metal products
6. Writing for technical magazines and trade associations
They may also supervise the work of metallography's, highly trained technologists, and other assistants in conducting tests on metals
Further the salary is depends upon the work experience and skills, So as your work experience and skills set will be increased the salary will uplifted accordingly.

1. Metallurgy is an old field of science and it's an unconventional field of engineering, which students generally don't prefer because they think this field is not much in demand.
2. Actually, this field is the mother of every other field. Just imagine the world without metals and non-metals. It's unimaginable. Modernization of the human race started due to discovery in this field. The big machines (mechanical), automobiles, chemical engineering, etc.
3. The boom in new discoveries in Metallurgy gave way to a boom in industrialization, thus it will remain an important branch of engineering and science. People will always use metals and non-metals for numerous purposes. Guess what? In future, there would be robots extracting precious metals on other planets.
4. Imagine the world without iron, steel, copper, gold, etc. This is your answer.
Technology of extraction, purification may change but the need of this field will always remain.
5. Materials Science is the branch of future, whether it's nanotechnology or polymers or composite materials. These materials will form the base of engineering in coming future.
