Metallurgy is the technical discipline that essentially concerns the study of metals, their behavior and the technical procedures relating to their obtaining and processing. This discipline was born in prehistoric times, substantially with the Copper Age, with the processing of the native element, but metallurgical techniques already in use during the Bronze Age can be considered fully metallurgical techniques. The raw materials in the metal manufacturing cycle mainly belong to 2 types: metal minerals and metal scrap. The operations that lead to the production of a metal are the subject of extractive or primary metallurgy. The minerals exploited industrially are mainly oxides, sulphides and silicates. The preparation treatments, which begin with the crushing of the rock, serve to concentrate the mineral. A metal alloy is defined as a set of atoms of two or more chemical elements that have metallic characteristics. In the solid state the alloys can be solid solutions or mixtures, in the first case they consist of a single solid phase, while in the second case they consist of two or more solid phases. The presence of the solute in the crystal lattice always causes a local distortion making the alloy less deformable, for this reason the alloys are naturally harder than the solvent-based metal.
