Most materials doesn't exist in its pure shape it is always exist as a

ores During the present century the scope of metallurgical science has
expanded enormously so that the subject can now be studied under the
following headings.
a Physical metallurgy
b Extraction metallurgy
c Process metallurgy
In the recent years studying the metallurgy science gave to humanity an
ever growing range of useful alloys. Whilst many of these alloys are put
to,purposes of destruction, we must not forget that,others have
contributed to the material progress of mankind and to his domestic
comfort.
This understanding of the materials resources and nature enable the
engineers to select the most appropriate materials and to use them with
greatest efficiency in minimum quantities whilst causing minimum
pollution in their extraction, refinement and manufacture
