Metal ore is mined or quarried from the ground.
1 of 7
How is metal ore converted into a usable material?
The metal is extracted from the ore by large-scale industrial processes requiring a massive amount of energy. The processes may involve heat, chemical reactions to remove unwanted elements or electrolysis.
2 of 7
What happens at the end of a metal's usable life?
At the end of metals' usable life, they are often recycled by melting them down and reprocessing into new products. This reduces the need to obtain a new metal ore.
3 of 7
Name the three types of metals.
Ferrous metals, Non-ferrous metals and Alloys
4 of 7
Name four stocks forms in which metal is available.
Sheet, Plate, Round bar, Square bar, Square tube and Round tube
