An Introduction to Metallurgy

Metallurgy is the process of extraction of metals from ores and creation of ores. Learning about metallurgy properties is an art of working metals, knowing the whole process of separating them from other materials in the ore, melting, refining, and finish them. Metallurgy can be broadly divided into three branches:

1. Mechanical Metallurgy 
2. Physical Metallurgy
3. Extractive Metallurgy

Mechanical Metallurgy 
Mechanical metallurgy branch is dealing with the reaction of metals to functional forces. Mechanical metallurgy can be well-defined as the border between an alloy's mechanical actions, the processing used to create the alloy, and the underlying structure.


Physical Metallurgy
Physical Metallurgy branch deals with the physical belongings and structure of alloys and metals. Physical metallurgy is the process making valuable products out of metals. Metal parts can be made in a variety of forms, depending on the shape and cost desired in the complete product.


Extractive Metallurgy
Extractive metallurgy is a branch of metallurgy. Extractive metallurgy is a process of extraction of metals from their natural mineral deposits. The field is a material art, covering all parts like ore, concentration, washing, chemical processes, separation and extraction of metal.
