Materials science has several applications which includes materials design that incorporate the classic principles of good design with the transformation of technology and sciences, cost-benefit in industrial production of materials, process strategies like rolling, welding, casting, crystal growth, thin-film deposition, particle implantation, glass blowing, etc. and analytic methods such as electron microscopy, calorimetry, X-ray diffraction etc. With the metallurgy and alloy materials, we refer to the knowledge-guided approach for the development and compositionally sensitive styke of novel metallurgical and alloy materials.
