Hi friends about metallurgical & materials engineering

In summary, Maria is interested in materials engineering and wants to learn more about it. She is currently studying Physics but is looking for resources on M.M.E. The Physics Forums has a dedicated section for engineering, specifically for materials engineering. This field involves understanding the properties and performance of materials on a microscopic and macroscopic level, as well as the manufacturing processes that can affect their performance.

Even more specifically there is a Mat. Eng. Forum.

This thread got moved out of General Engineering to GD, but it would be more appropriate in Materials & Chemical Engineering.

Anyway, marie_curie, what is it that you wish to know about material engineering or materials science.

Since mankind uses a variety of materials in a variety of products and in a variety of environments, one must know how that material performs - so there is a discipline of materials engineering or science devoted to understanding materials from a microscopic, was well as macroscopic, standpoint.

In addition to understanding the physical (including thermophysical), mechanical, and chemical (and electrochemical) properties of a material in order to know how it will perform, one must also understand how the material is manufactured. Often, how a material is made will affect how it performs.
