Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is used in the production of modern aeroplanes, vehicles (automobiles, railways, and ships), recreational vehicles, buildings, implanted devices, musical instruments, and various other things.

Detailed explanation-2: -Metallurgy is the process of working metal into artifacts (tools and toys). Although small amounts of metals are found in relatively pure form, most must be extracted from more complex ores by removing the “impurities” (non-metal or other metal) from the combination ore.

Detailed explanation-3: -TOOL STEEL STRENGTH Tool steel is a type of carbon alloy used for tool manufacturing. Its hardness, abrasion resistance, and ability to retain shape at high temperatures make it one of the strongest metals on the market.

Detailed explanation-4: -Metallurgical Engineering involves the study, innovation, design, implementation, and improvement of processes that transform mineral resources and metals into useful products that improve the quality of our lives. Metals provide the foundation for our modern way of life.

Detailed explanation-5: -The process appears to have been invented by the Hittites in about 1200 BC, beginning the Iron Age.
