Department of Metallurgical Engineering

Department of Metallurgical Engineering consists of five laboratories, counting about 10 members of teaching/educational staff running under-graduate, master and doctoral studies within the following study programs: Metallurgical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Engineering of Environmental Protection. In the past twenty years, graduate and doctoral studies within Metallurgical Engineering study program have also been organized in English language. The significant scientific potential enabled a broad research work of both fundamental and applied type, showing up through the number of international and national publications or technological solutions/improvements in metallurgical companies. A short survey of laboratories, teaching staff and research activities are listed below:

1. Laboratory of Extractive Metallurgy was formed from the Department of non-ferrous metallurgy and the Department of Metallurgy of iron and steel established in 1958., and 1970. respectively. Teaching is performed through the theoretical study of physical and chemical fundamentals and understanding the essence of reaction requirements through principles and criteria of process engineering. Through courses Steel metallurgy and Metallurgy of special steels, special attention is given to the industrial economy of steel through monitoring of structural changes in the organization, management and macroeconomic position of the steel industry. Within the Theory of metallurgical processes areas of kinetic and thermodynamic principles were specifically developed. In addition to teaching activities, Department from its beginning until today paid special attention to the scientific and professional work. Members of the Department have participated, either as leaders or collaborators in the development of a large number of research projects, technological studies, the main and preliminary designs, reviews, audits, etc. In the field scientific and professional work, Department has cooperated with the most important companies in the field of metallurgy and its related companies, as well as with research institutions in this field. As a result of theoretical and experimental research, a number of scientific papers dealing with the kinetic principles of complex heterogeneous processes have been derived such as: reduction of the oxides and sulphides, leaching of metals from various materials, material chlorination and sulfurization of various raw materials as well as the kinetics of other processes. In addition, as a result of the extensive work of the Department staff, various scientific papers in the field of metals recycling and environmental protection within a field of metallurgy, has been published. Since its foundation Department has realized extensive cooperation with leading companies from the field of ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, both, domestic and international, such as: Sirmium Steel ltd., Metal Fer ltd., US Steel, RTB-Bor, Kombinat Trepča, Zorka-Šabac, Monbat PLC., Elixir Group ltd., Aluminum Plant Podgorica, Copper and Aluminum Mill Sevojno, Zajača Smelter, Tehnogas Beograd, INOS Beograd, Magnohrom Kraljevo, Lead and zinc smelter Titov Veles, REC-EE-O ltd., Mg Serbien Baljevac, EPS, Energoprojekt Belgrade, SGS Serbia, SC TRS Welded Structure Romania, Cleanpart GmbH Germany, Nekk International Group, Russia, Sintef, Norway, etc.

5. Laboratory of Metal Forming Teaching activities are related to mechanics and metallurgy of metal forming: fundamental and advanced aspects of mechanical and deformation behavior of materials under different stress states, strain hardening, plastic instability and formability limits of the materials. Theoretical and practical aspects of deformation processing of metals and alloys during conventional methods of plastic deformation: rolling, extrusion, drawing and sheet metal forming, as well as during non-conventional severe plastic deformation processes, which include understanding of the complex relations between forming process and the microstructure of metals and also between the microstructure and mechanical properties. Since the modern metal industry requires thermo-mechanical processing that leads to a product with optimal properties, our research interests are focused on the thermo-mechanical processing parameters - microstructure - properties relations for different materials (Cu-Zn, Al-Li, Al-Mg alloys, etc), deformation behavior of sheet materials, manufacturing of multilayer/sandwich sheet metallic materials (by rolling, bonding, accumulative roll bonding), etc.
