What is Metallurgy??
Metallurgy is the set of processes by which metals are extracted from their ores and converted to more useful forms.
Process Of Metallurgy:-
Metallurgy consists of three general steps:
(1) mining the ore
(2) separating and concentrating the metal or the metal-containing compound.
(3) reducing the ore to the metal.
(4) Additional processes are sometimes required to improve the mechanical properties of the metal or increase its purity.
Additional Information:-
Many ores contain relatively low concentrations of the desired metal; for example, copper ores that contain even 1% Cu by mass are considered commercially useful.
