Development of the scientific field of metallurgy was accomplished through the Department of Metallurgy (1960–1974), and Metallurgical Engineering Department of the Faculty of Technology, University of Zagreb (1974–1978), Zagreb Institute for Light Metals (1949–1968), Sisak Institute for Metallurgy (1961–1978), Faculty of Metallurgy of the Sisak Iron and Steel Works (1979–1991), and Faculty of Metallurgy as part of the University of Zagreb (1991–). Development of the scientific field of metallurgy is closely connected to the metallurgical industry of the Republic of Croatia (Sisak Iron and Steel Works, Šibenik Light Metals Factory, numerous foundries, etc.) and professional libraries. Presented are the education, scientific research, professional, publishing, and journalistic activities in the scientific field of metallurgy. In addition, the contribution of other higher school institutions and professional societies is presented.
