Prof. Dr. Tamás Kékesi, Leader of the specialisation.

Metals have always had a special signifi cance among industrial materials.
Without them there would be no electronics, modern technology or civilization. The extraction of metals is possible not only from ores, but from solid or liquid secondary raw materials; moreover, the processing
of wastes with a metal content is also important from an environmental aspect, as well as for extraction of valuable materials. The curriculum of this specialization lays a great emphasis on the processing methods of materials with a metal content, as well as high-purity metals and surface treated metals considered to be up-to-date modern materials. Our students get to know the characteristics and the operation of the
physico-chemical processes providing the basis for high-temperature
metallurgical processes or those including wet media.

The objective of this specialization is to train professionals who are familiar with the production of components with complex geometry, with the casting of liquid metal alloys into moulds, with the methods, equipment and materials of form-giving using high technology. The foundry industry is looking for engineers who, in addition to their scientific knowledge and knowledge of material structure, material testing, language and economics, have a wide range of knowledge in foundry technology, including the processes and equipment of mould preparation, melting and the treatment of metals, mould filling and solidification, and who can utilize their knowledge on the basis of practical experience under industrial conditions. The Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering of the University of Miskolc, specifically the Institute of Metallurgical and Foundry Engineering,is the only higher education and research centre of foundry technology in Hungary to offer a program training such specialists.
