View Profile

Welcome to the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering. We are one of the oldest departments of IIT
Madras, established in the same year as the Institute in 1959. In the first few decades of its existence, then known as the
Department of Metallurgy, the focus was more on industrial metallurgy. However, over the past few decades, the
department changed to the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering to adapt to the transformations and
expectations worldwide in diverse materials science and engineering areas. Several faculty members of the department in
recent times have taken the lead in establishing prospective centres of excellence in the areas of advanced/correlative
microscopy, materials and manufacturing for futuristic mobility that includes additive manufacturing, ceramic
technologies and surface engineering along with pyrometallurgy. The department hosts state-of-the-art processing and
characterization facilities, including excellent computational infrastructure. If you are interested in pursuing a career in
metallurgy, materials science and engineering and excel, this is the department that you should be in.
