TITLE(s): METALLURGIST, PHYSICAL (profess. & kin.)
Investigates and conducts experiments concerned with physical characteristics, properties, and
processing of metals to develop new alloys, applications, and methods of commercially fabricating
products from metals: Conducts microscopic, x ray, x-ray diffraction, and spectroscopic studies of
metals and alloys, such as steel, cast iron, and nonferrous alloys, to determine their physical
characteristics, such as crystal structure, dispersion of alloy particles through basic metal, and
presence of impurities, fractures, and other defects in metal samples. Develops melting,
hot-working, cold-working, and heat-treating processes to obtain desired characteristics, such as
ductility, malleability, elongation ability, durability, and hardness. Tests alloys in tension,
compression, impact, bending, or fatigue devices to study physical characteristics for manufacturing
purposes or determine compliance with manufacturing specifications and standards. Consults with
engineers and officials to develop methods of manufacturing alloys at minimum costs. May specialize
in particular area of physical metallurgy, such as development of improved techniques and materials,
for use in production of pressed metallic-powder products.
