Metals, Mining and Metallurgy

Material science plays a significant role in mining and metallurgy. Materials with a precise shape, geometry and arrangement which can affect light and sound in unconventional manners are considered as a functional materials Biomaterials, Metamaterials, graphene, Nano-electromechanical systems are new functional materials which has been constantly improved and utilized in different sectors where potential applications are diverse including drug delivery, improve grafting in transplants, remote aerospace applications, infrastructure monitoring, smart solar power management, and public safety, improving ultrasonic sensors, and even shielding structures from earthquakes.

Mining and Metallurgy is the field of Materials Science that deals with physical and chemical nature of the metallic & intermetallic compounds and alloys. Diverse methods and skills used in the extraction and production of various metals are extraction of metals from ores, purification; Metal casting Technology, plating, spraying, etc. in the series of processes, the metal is subjected to thermogenic and cryogenic conditions to analyses the corrosion, strength & toughness of the metal. Alloy development and casting techniques, Creep resistant alloys, Corrosion, heat treatment, Extractive metallurgy, Powder metallurgy, Light metals for transportation, Coupled mechanics. Components with higher strength to weight ratios, lower cost solar cells, lower cost display screens in mobile devices, storing hydrogen for fuel cell powered cars, Hydrometallurgy, medical sensors, faster charging batteries, ultracapacitors. NEMS typically integrate transistor-like Nano electronics with mechanical actuators, pumps, or motors, and may thereby form physical, biological, and chemical sensors.

The market demand for steel processing is projected to grow at $642.43 Billion by 2020 and CAGR of 2.16% from 2015 to 2020. The metalworking fluids market was estimated to be worth USD 8.30 Billion in 2014 and is projected to reach USD 9.74 Billion, by 2020, at a CAGR of 3.2% between 2015 and 2020. In this report, 2014 is considered as the base year and forecast period is between 2015 and 2020.
