Metallurgy

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The metallurgy is the branch of materials science . The subject of this engineering discipline, also known as the teaching of metals , is the investigation of the structure and properties of metals and metallic materials . In doing so, she makes use of the theoretical and experimental methods of metallography , destructive and non-destructive material testing and solid state physics . Since the spread of computers , simulation techniques have also been used increasingly .

Metallurgy develops the theoretical foundations on which practical areas such as metallurgy are based.
