Summary: Metallurgy is a field of material science and engineering which deals with the study of physical and chemical attributes of metallic elements and their inter-metallic compounds and mixtures known as alloys. The basic objective of metallurgy is to separate metals from their ores. The field of metallurgy is further divided into physical, chemical, ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy. Physical metallurgy studies the physical properties of metals such as tensile strength, yield strength, coercivity, etc. Chemical metallurgy deals with the oxidation and reduction reactions involved in the process of separating metal from its ore. Ferrous metallurgy focuses on those metals which contain iron such as steel while the non-ferrous metallurgy is concerned with the processes involving metals such as aluminium, lead, brass, copper etc. This book attempts to understand the multiple branches that fall under the discipline of metallurgy and how such concepts have practical applications. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the theory and practice of metallurgy. This book is a complete source of knowledge on the present status of this important field.
