Question: What do i major in if i want to become a metallurgist? what do i need a BS degree in?
What do i need to have a Master's in?
How do i get my PhD?
this is for school, im just curious! thanks!
Answer: Metallurgic engineering, or material's science. Graduate degrees in same field. Ph.D.? Lots of work...expect about 8-10 years from starting college to getting a Ph.D. Why do you want one? A terminal degree in engineering is generally an MS, unless you want to teach in college. Engineering Ph.D.s don't earn much more and find it much harder to find jobs (overqualified).
Question: Machinist and metallurgist question on material identification? how do you determine what kind of material you have by reading the AISI and SAE codes? Whats the difference between the two of them? I think it has something to do with carbon content but i'm not sure
Answer: Your best bet is to check an AISI/SAE chart. The few numbers in the identifier do not provide all relevant information.
Question: how metallurgist identify defects on a turbine blade with x-ray? I need some paper about it.
Answer: Here are a couple of links:

You really need to go to an engineering library and search abstracts online to find papers.
Question: What is a metallurgist? I'm wondering what it is. And, also, what does it mean when you are a metallurgist specializing in galvanizing steel? Can you please list your sources so I can get the information from there.
Answer: Metallurgy is a domain of materials science that studies the physical and chemical behavior of metallic elements, their intermetallic compounds, and their mixtures, which are called alloys. It is also the technology of metals: the way in which science is applied to their practical use. The term is nowadays distinguished from the craft of metalworking.

Question: a metallurgist is going 2 make an experimenal alloy dat requires adding 325g of bismuth to 2.500kg...? of molten lead. What is the total mass of the mixture in kilograms?
Answer: 1000 g = 1 kg
325g(1kg/1000g) = 0.325 kg
then add
0.325 + 2.5 = 2.825 kg...
best answer?
Question: Can any metallurgist help? If we give Methanol(CH3OH), LPG(C3H8+C4H10), Ammonia gas(NH3) into the furnace to carbo-nitride low carbon steels, I want to know the detailed chemical reactions that happen inside the furnace and how carbon get indused into steel. Suggest some links where I get the information. Urgent please.
Answer: Gas atoms such as Carbon and Nitrogen are used in this manner to "case harden" a steel by providing a harder outer layer. To carburize, a carbon source must be present, which is the chemicals you listed. Nitriding requires the same. I'm afraid I can't tell you the chemical reactions, but I can explain how the carbon and nitrogen enter the steel.
The carbon and nitrogen enter the steel by simple diffusion. Wherever there is a gradient, or change in concentration, diffusion must happen to reach equilibrium. In this case, a gas rich in carbon and nitrogen surrounds the steel in a furnace. Diffusion is highly temperature dependent, so as these gases are left in with the steel, some of the atoms enter the surface layer.

Include the time required and specially recognized schools you may encounter
Explain how understanding Earth science plays an important role in your career
I just need help finding websites with the info on them
i need the websites tho because i need to do a bibliography.. and no wikipedia.

Good luck.
Question: How can i put this in a more sentence like structure? like writing like its not copied or pasted.? In his article John described that the “evidence used to rule out a second assassin is fundamentally flawed,” written by former FBI lab metallurgist William A. Tobin and Texas A&M University researchers Cliff Spiegelman and William D. James. After retiring, Tobin attracted national attention by questioning the FBI science used in prosecutions for decades to match bullets to crime suspects through their lead content.
Answer: Sounds good the way it is.
Question: how much of the other metals must she add to keep the ratio of the metals the same? A metallurgist knows that a certain alloy has been made by mixing silver, lead and zinc in the ratio 6:7:2. she takes 600g of the alloy and melts it and adds 120g of silver.
pleas write the working out and explanation as i dont get the question.
Answer: Hi,
When mixing silver, lead and zinc in the ratio 6:7:2, the alloy is 6/15 or 2/5 silver. 2/5 of the original 600 g is 240 g of silver in the original alloy. Lead is 7/15 of the original 600 g or 280 g of lead. Likewise 2/15 of the original 600 g or 80 g are zinc.
If 120 grams of silver are added, then 120 + 240 = 360 total grams of silver in the new mixture. If this is to remain 2/5 of the total mixture, then 2/5M = 360 and M = 900. There will be 900 grams total in the new mixture.
Since the amount of silver added was half of what was already there, you need to add half of the current amount for every metal.
To the current 280 g of lead, add 140 more grams of lead.
To the current 80 g of zinc, add 40 more grams of zinc.
Then 360 g of silver plus 420 g of lead plus 120 g of zinc will equal the new total of 900 g and keep the same ratio of 6:7:2.
Add 140 g of lead and 40 more grams of zinc. <== ANSWER
I hope that helps!! :-)

Question: How and when was Wood's metal discovered? I know that is was discovered by American metallurgist B. Wood, but i need to know how and when. Thank You.
Answer: Matt,
This took some doing! B. Wood is Barnabas Wood, and he submitted a patent application on October 31, 1859; it was granted as patent number 27,590 on March 20, 1860. It can be assumed that the discovery was made in 1859, or shortly before (see first reference below).
It looks as though there was a lot of research done around this time frame (not just Wood) around alloys, and in specific, trying to cement tinware, pewter, etc., as well as finding alloys that were easy to cast (without heating them up to very high temperatures). Alloys of bismuth, lead and tin was already known as far back as Isaac Newton, with improvements by Darcet and Rose (see second reference). Apparently, Wood found that adding cadmium improved its ability to fuse, lowering the melting points from 90°C and above to between 66°-71°C.
By the way, all of the metals he tried have a silvery/grey color; he probably limited his search to such colors, avoiding ones like copper and iron that would have given a different hue.
Hope that helped!
Question: in which places do metallurgists get jobs with a great salary?
Answer: Mines. Mining jobs are very well paid and metallurgists are very much needed in the mines in Australia. However the times are tough now and as the mining industry was very badly hit by the financial crisis, not many people are employed at the moment. I would look for metallurgist jobs at http://mycareer.com.au/ and http://www.careerone.com.au/ and try.
Question: Linear systems word question? A metallurgist needs 600g of copper zinc alloy, which should be 68% copper. He had two alloys A which is 60% copper and B which is 75% copper. How many grams of each should be used?
Answer: 68% of 600 is 408 grams. That's how much copper he needs in total.
Let A = how many grams of A and
Let B = how many grams of B.
From the percentages given above, we can derive the first equation.
.6A + .75B = 408.
A + B = 600.
Since we know that he needs 600 pounds total, we know that A + B should be 600.
Multilpy the top equation by (-4/3) so we can cancel out the B's.
(-4/5)A - B = -544.
A + B = 600.
A/5 = 56.
A = 280.
Since A + B = 600, B = 320.
He should use 280 of alloy A and 320 of alloy B.
Question: Imact test of welded specimen of medium carbon steel(1045)? dear friends i am going to start a project on welding of medium carbon steel it is not possible for me to find specification of impact test specimen(specialy for welded samples) and its shape can anybody tell me about that. i know dimension of simple impact test but not for welded specimen. and if it is possible for u to send me standard data for impact test of welded samples metallurgist_uetian@yahoo.com i shall be thankfull to you
Answer: You should be able to get that information from the testing lab that is going to do your impact testing. In fact any testing lab that does impact testing should have that information and usually does the actually machining of the samples.
The information is also available in the ASME and ASTM codes and standards.
