This  subject includes physical and chemical properties of metals, their atomic and crystalline structure, mineral beneficiation and structure-property relationship. Metallurgy has two major divisions: extractive or process Metallurgy and physical or alloy Metallurgy. The first involves extracting metals out from their ores and refining them.  It includes a wide variety of specialised commercial processes such as mineral dressing, roasting, sintering, smelting, leaching, electrolysis and amalgamation.  Physical Metallurgy is about adapting metals for their final use and improving their performance.
