The science or procedures of extracting metals from their ores, or purifying metals and of casting useful items form the metals. It involves knowledge and study of metals and their phases and properties at bulk and atomic levels.
The framework for the study of metallurgical and materials engineering is composed of the scientific and practical inter-relationship at play among the processing, structure, properties and performance of all classes of materials like metals, polymers, ceramics and composites.
