The study and examination of the chemical and physical properties of metallic elements, their mixtures, i.e. alloys and their intermetallic compounds is known as metallurgy. It is further divided into two parts namely, non-ferrous metallurgy and ferrous metallurgy. The most important and widely used processes in this field are machining, casting, rolling, plating, heat treatment, thermal spraying, fabrication, forging, sintering, etc. This book presents the complex subject of metallurgy in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. Different approaches, evaluations and methodologies have been included in it. This textbook will provide comprehensive knowledge to the readers.
