The Metallurgy and Materials Society Metallurgists have been active in the Canadian Institute of Mining (CIM) since its inception in 1898. In 1945, the Metallurgy Division was formed to reflect the groups technical interests. Constituted as a Society in 1967, the Metallurgical Society (MetSoc) is one of the four societies and five divisions making up the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy, and Petroleum. In October of 2010, the Society adopted its new name The Metallurgy and Materials Society.
