Islamic cementation seems to have used zinc oxide known as tutiya or tutty rather than zinc ores for brass making resulting in a metal with lower iron impurities.

Eventually it was discovered that metallic zinc could be alloyed with copper to make brass ; a process known as speltering and by 1657 the German chemist Johann Glauber had recognised that calamine was " nothing else but unmeltable zinc " and that zinc was a " half ripe metal.

Alloys of nearly every metal known have been encountered in jewellery.

Solder (, or USA ) is a fusible metal alloy used to join together metal workpieces and having a melting point below that of the workpiece ( s ).

To strike the electric arc, the electrode is brought into contact with the workpiece by a very light touch with the electrode to the base metal then is pulled back slightly.

Also, sharp edges tend to cut into the metal being worked and may cause cracks to form in the workpiece.

* Turning operations are operations that rotate the workpiece as the primary method of moving metal against the cutting tool.

A lathe is a machine tool that can be used to create that diameter by rotating a metal workpiece, so that a cutting tool can cut metal away, creating a smooth, round surface matching the required diameter and surface finish.

For the forming of sheet metal, such as automobile body parts, two parts may be used, one, called the punch, performs the stretching, bending, and / or blanking operation, while another part, called the die block, securely clamps the workpiece and provides similar, stretching, bending, and / or blanking operation.

In practice the metal workpiece to be fabricated is placed in proximity to a heavily constructed coil of wire ( called the work coil ).

The metal forming process occurs extremely quickly ( typically tens of microseconds ) and, because of the large forces, portions of the workpiece undergo high acceleration reaching velocities of up to 300 m / s.

Turret type punch press machines have a table or bed with brushes or rollers to allow the sheet metal workpiece to traverse with low friction.

Dependent on the size of the machine, the beds, and the sheet metal workpiece weight, the motors required to move these axis tables will vary in size and power.

Sheet metal drawing becomes deep drawing when the workpiece is drawing longer than its diameter.

In Laser Hybrid welding, using MIG, vaporisation takes place not only from the surface of the workpiece but also from the filler wire, so that more metal vapor is available to facilitate the absorption of the laser radiation.

The high forces imposed on the metal overcome the viscosity, resulting in a finely detailed workpiece.

Workpieces often need to be supported more than the chuck and / or centers can support them, because cutting metal produces tremendous forces that tend to vibrate or even bend the workpiece.

Punching is a metal forming process that uses a punch press to force a tool, called a punch, through the workpiece to create a hole via shearing.

* Forging, which is the process of deforming a metal workpiece by working with localized compressive forces.

These sheets are rolled at specific and discrete (" chiral ") angles, and the combination of the rolling angle and radius decides the nanotube properties ; for example, whether the individual nanotube shell is a metal or semiconductor.
