Environment
|
The Environment Section provides a forum for the exchange of knowledge and skills in technical
and environmental areas between professionals in the metallurgical 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.

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.
