Scientific repertoire in the field of metallurgical engineering is so wide ranging from direct contact with mining works, such as the processing of minerals through the separation of valuable minerals from impurities, then proceed with an extraction process to extract the precious metals and finally to design alloys that can provide the properties needed for engineering application in various fields such as energy generation, oil and gas, mining, transportation, constructions, communications, medical, chemicals, pharmaceutical and food industries. In this downstream development, scientific development is so dynamic and fast, especially to provide alloys for strategic industries including defense and security. In response to this demand, research activities have been conducted for undergraduate, master and doctoral students. Funding from the P3MI program has helped to conduct research in the laboratory. However, increasing the level of research from a laboratory scale to a commercial scale must already be started. For this reason, research orientation will be increased to get the highest level of industrial readiness in the future. Cooperation with outside parties, especially industry, will be pursued more intensively in order to achieve the independence of the production of high quality alloys in the country to reduce dependence on imports.
