Show transcript
Raw materials need to be sourced and processed into a useable form. Metals are sourced from the earth as ores, which are mined, extracted, and processed into usable materials. Metals are categorised as ferrous, non-ferrous, or alloys. Processed metals are formed into standard stock forms. Metal properties such as strength, ductility and conductivity determine their suitability for different products.
