Overview
What does a metallurgical engineer do?
Metallurgical engineers study and produce materials that power our bodies and our world. They transform metals into high-performance alloys, high-purity metals, and new materials used in all types of products including superconductors, advanced coatings, cars, aircrafts, and surgical implants.
Metallurgical engineers also conduct testing to ensure the safety of materials, develop sustainable materials and processes for recycling existing materials, investigate material failures, and create testing procedures to ensure materials can withstand extreme environments.
Some of the work you might do as a metallurgical engineer includes:
- Convert raw metal into usable formats
- Design methods for separating metal from the rest of the components
- Design and direct testing procedures
- Monitor how materials perform and evaluate how they deteriorate
- Determine causes of product failure and develop ways to overcome the failure
