TECHNICAL SECTIONS
 |
Environment
|
The Environment Section provides a forum for the exchange of knowledge and skills in technical
and environmental areas between professionals in the metallurgical
ad materials industry. The Section's
activities reflect the current needs of the industry. Our mandate is to provide leadership
in knowledge sharing and professional development for a broad range of environmental fields,
and in the development of environmental practices and standards.

Iron and Steel
|
The Iron and Steel Section covers all aspects of the iron and steel making industry, from
iron making, through casting, into hot rolling, cold rolling annealing and then into coatings,
such as galvanizing. Environmental concerns related to these topics are also covered.
Properties and applications of iron and steel are equally important.
To be announced

Light Metals
|
The Light Metals Section is concerned with light metals such as Aluminum, Magnesium, Titanium,
Lithium, Strontium and Silicon. The Section examines issues such as extraction and refining,
fabrication and applications, materials characterization, recycling and the potential for
industrial and commercial development.

Management in Metallurgy
|
The Management in Metallurgy Section responds to the ever-growing needs of MetSoc members
who find themselves in positions requiring a set of non-technical skills that rarely anyone
gets at university or in graduate studies. The Section helps members become aware of such
issues as:
- Project management
- Human resources
- Strategic planning
- Finance
- Business growth strategies
- Implementation of new technology
- Risk management
- Environment, health and safety
Discussions of these and other subjects are done through specific sessions in conferences,
workshops, short courses and publications.
The success of the Management in Metallurgy Section will only be possible with membership
involvement.

Materials
|
The focus of the Materials section is on all secondary processing of materials. The Section is concerned with aspects of in-situ performance of materials, under a full range of service conditions (thermal, mechanical and chemical). Emphasis is also placed upon the microdesign and engineering of high performance materials, advanced processing technologies and microstructure and property characterization of both metallic and non-metallic inorganic materials.
To be announced.

Minerals Science and Engineering
|
The Mineral Sciences and Engineering Section brings together scientists, engineers and
academics in Mineral Processing, Mineralogy and other related subjects. Emphasis is on
fundamentals, research and development. The constituents of the section are mostly researchers
and development engineers from industry, research centers and universities.

Non-ferrous Pyrometallurgy
|
The Non-ferrous Pyrometallurgy Section promotes the active exchange of information within the
Canadian base metal industry. This group of researchers and industrial operators focuses on
thermodynamics, slag chemistry, process fundamentals, furnace design, operating practices,
minor element behavior and off-gas treatment.
