Metallurgy is a branch of material science that focus on the physical and chemical behaviour of metallic elements and its alloys. Knowledge of metallurgy is very important for any design and production engineers. Design of any part generally based on Strength, which comes from alloy composition and metallurgical structure. It is not just enough if design engineer select right alloy but also have to specify metallurgical requirements to achieve required properties. Production engineers have to understand the metallurgical requirements and develop process to achieve that. Hence awareness of metallurgy play an important role in today's engineering world.Keeping this in view, Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association (IMTMA) is organizing a 6 Hrs online programme on "Metallurgy for non-metallurgist-Ferrous Materials".

This Program will be conducted by Mr. Ganapathi K N.

Mr. Ganapathi K N, is an Advisor of IMTMA having 16 years of industrial and 16 years of academic/Training experience. He is a post graduate in metal casting science and engineering from UVCE Bengaluru.

Prior to working at IMTMA, Mr. Ganapathi has worked at various capacity in both Ferrous and nonferrous foundries. He has a thorough understanding of all foundry operations and has experience in providing solutions to foundry problems. He has also imparted specialized training in the metal casting domain to more than 300 engineers across manufacturing companies in India. He has also taught metal casting topics to postgraduate engineering students.
