Metal production is a complex of technological processes aimed at extracting, processing, and transforming metals from natural ores and their subsequent use for creating metal products and structures. This industry forms the foundation of many industrial and technical fields, providing materials for construction, mechanical engineering, energy, and other sectors.

The image collection dedicated to metal production presents various stages and objects covering the entire production cycle. Here you can find photos of raw materials — metal ores and concentrates, which serve as the starting point of production. Further, beneficiation and smelting processes are demonstrated, including the operation of blast furnaces, converters, and electric steelmaking furnaces, where metals transition into a molten state for subsequent shaping.

A significant place is occupied by images of rolling mills, forging, and casting departments, where metals acquire their final form — sheets, rods, pipes, profiles, and cast parts. Also shown are thermal and chemical treatment processes aimed at changing the structure and improving metal properties such as strength, plasticity, and corrosion resistance.

Metal production is closely related to raw material resources, energy, chemical technologies, and modern equipment for automation and quality control of products. The collection reflects large-scale industrial complexes, specialized laboratories, transportation and storage of metal materials, as well as the use of metal products in various fields of human activity.

The images showcase a variety of metal types and alloys, including cast iron, steel, aluminum, copper, and their derivatives. Depending on the region and season, production conditions can vary from cold northern climates to hot industrial centers, affecting the organization and characteristics of metallurgical plants.

Metal production is a fundamental industry that supports technological progress and industrial development by providing the necessary materials for the sustainable functioning of modern society.
