Metallurgy derives from the Ancient Greek μεταλλουργός, metallourgós, "worker in metal", from μέταλλον, métallon, "mine, metal" + ἔργον, érgon, "work" The word was originally an alchemist's term for the extraction of metals from minerals, the ending -urgy signifying a process, especially manufacturing: it was discussed in this sense in the 1797 Encyclopædia ...
The first name of the journal was Metalurgija, published in 1995. The new name was adopted in 2012. The journal publishes contributions on fundamental and engineering aspects in the area of metallurgy and materials. The journal publishes full length research papers, preliminary communications, reviews, and technical papers. [2]
A treatise is a formal and systematic written discourse on some subject concerned with investigating or exposing the principles of the subject and its conclusions. [1] A monograph is a treatise on a specialized topic.
Extractive metallurgy is a branch of metallurgical engineering wherein process and methods of extraction of metals from their natural mineral deposits are studied. The field is a materials science, covering all aspects of the types of ore, washing, concentration, separation, chemical processes and extraction of pure metal and their alloying to suit various applications, sometimes for direct ...
Ferrous metallurgy is the metallurgy of iron and its alloys. The earliest surviving prehistoric iron artifacts, from the 4th millennium BC in Egypt , [ 1 ] were made from meteoritic iron-nickel . [ 2 ]
The 16th-century process of separating copper and silver using liquation, described by Georg Agricola in his 1556 treatise De re metallica, [1] remained almost unchanged until the 19th century when it was replaced by cheaper and more efficient processes such as sulphatization and eventually electrolytic methods.
In the Historicum, the university presents numerous exhibits, pictures and contemporary documents in a vivid way. In the Forum Montangeschichte one can find since 2015 digitized and in full text freely available historical essays on Saxon mining and metallurgical history, including previously unpublished works, as well as current publications.
Powder compaction, one of the most critical steps in powder metallurgy processes, is the process of compacting metal powder through the application of high pressures. [18] Most powder compaction is done with mechanical presses and rigid tools, but hydraulic and pneumatic techniques can also be used, as well as methods that combine compaction ...
