History of metallurgy

When man got acquainted with metal, he learned the science and art of metallurgy. The beginning of the period of metals dates back to 6 or 7 thousand years before the Hijra, and according to discoveries, copper is probably the first metal that was used purely. One of the reasons for people’s attention to copper can be its metallic appearance with different colors such as red, gold and azure.

Others believe that the gold metal whose particles were found in the riverside sands is the first metal identified by humans. Egyptians and Indians were the most gold mining. Also, the discovery of artifacts in Iran and the Achaemenid period shows the use of gold and silver at that time. Over time, other metals such as lead, silver, tin, etc. were discovered and used. Man was able to make alloys with better properties by using fire and melting iron, such as the combination of tin and copper, which caused the beginning of the effect of bronze or bronze.
