METALLURGY

Read about how we are responding to the COVID-19 outbreak

Learn the practical metallurgy concepts and how to apply them to real-world problems and decisions.

Metallurgy is a domain of materials engineering that studies the physical and chemical behaviour of metallic elements and alloys. Many production problems occur because metallurgy is overlooked during design, manufacturing, supplier selection and quality control processes.

Our metallurgy portfolio has been designed to provide the practical skills that high-value engineering organisations need to apply to real-world problems and decisions in order to succeed in competitive global markets.

Excellent, very informative and engaging.
