Hello yugal

Can be said as much.. However, not so much.. Toward the finish of my answer I'll attempt to post the contrast between two. See mechanical is an evergreen branch, it's a branch that has been streaming since numerous years and different branches like metalurgical and so forth have recently experienced childhood in a proper way of time.

To my understanding, mechanical building, in itself, is managing the structure, development and real utilization of a specific machine. Also, metallurgical and materials building, in itself, is managing the physical and concoction cosmetics of metallic mixes.

On the off chance that you need to work with structuring, development, and genuine use of machines, to which I think would be the drawings or an arrangement indicating how a specific thing takes a shot at paper or in a PC. And after that the other, the metallurgical and materials designing, to my comprehension is managing genuine mixes and their cosmetics.

Mechanical building is an expansive designing specialization that includes the plan, examination, development and support of different machine frameworks or devices though Metallurgical building is a designing field which manages a wide range of metal related regions.

Mechanical building field uses the standards of physical science and material sciences for the concerned errands while Metallurgical designing is a field that includes the investigation of physical and substance highlights of metals and its related issues.

All the best

Can be said so.. But not really.. At the end of my answer I'll try to post the difference between two. See mechanical is an evergreen branch, it's a branch that's been flowing since many years and other branches like metalurgical etc have just grown up in a due course of time.

To my understanding, mechanical engineering, in itself, is dealing with the design, construction and actual use of a particular machine. And metallurgical and materials engineering, in itself, is dealing with the physical and chemical makeup of metallic compounds.

If you want to work with designing, construction, and actual usage of machines, to which I think would be the drawings or a plan showing how a particular item works on paper or in a computer. And then the other, the metallurgical and materials engineering, to my understanding is dealing with actual compounds and their makeup.




  • Mechanical engineering is a broad engineering specialization that involves the design, analysis, construction and maintenance of various machine systems or tools whereas Metallurgical engineering is an engineering field which deals with all kinds of metal related areas.
  • Mechanical engineering field utilizes the principles of physics and material sciences for the concerned tasks whereas Metallurgical engineering is a field that involves the study of physical and chemical features of metals and its related issues.

Although Mechanical engineering and Metallurgical engineering are involved in the same engineering area, there exist lots of dissimilarities between them.
