Metallurgical Engineering
Hey there
Metal is a crucial part of our industries band thus we need engineering who can extract them economically and efficiently for that we have metallurgy as a branch in engineering. They study about metals their physical and chemical properties. But one can't say it's a sub stream of chemical engineering. All engineering branches are related like in metallurgy itself we learn thermodynamics and same in mechanical engineering so then these branches will also be similar. But it's not like that chemical engineering is large scale chemist work and thus in making demineralised water to ammonia and etc we need chemical engineering. And for iron ores etc we need metallurgy both have different purposes.
Good luck
The physics & Chemistry of metals and their processing will be dealt by Chemical Metallurgy. The electrolytic processes like extraction, refining, coating, plating and deposition is dealt by Elctro-metallurgy. Thus metallurgy is a full -fledged branch of Engineering and is not a branch of Chemistry. Hopefully this information is enough to take
Good luck!
Hey,
Metallurgical and material engineering is a sub branch of chemical engineering. But it has some courses of mechanical too like material science, deformation of materials, mechanical properties of materils, heat treatment etc. You won't get more courses from chemical engineering in metallurgy. Metallurgy has course similar to mechanical and even some of courses are there which are not thaught in mechanical engineering.
Hope it helps
No there is no such thing about these two branches. If you are thinking that all metals which are when extracted needs chemical processing all chemical is used is metal extraction and all then I would say all branches are somehow connected like electrical engineer use induction motors whose whole structure is made by mechanical so all branches are interconnected do not get confused. Metallurgy is a demanding stream in India as number of colleges having metallurgy as a branch is less in India.
