Metallurgy is the study of metals. It can be subdivided into physical metallurgy, which addresses the physical properties of metals, and extractive metallurgy, which concerns itself with the processes by which they are produced.

The field is also divided into ferrous ([[iron]]-based) and non-ferrous metals. Ferrous metals are the most important metals in the Earth's economy, with [[steel|mild steel]] alone accounting for about 95% of total metal production.

 ===Metal extraction with Carbonyls===
-Carbon monoxide at moderate pressures and temperatures can form carbonyls.  Metal atoms leave the surface of the rock or dust, and form a toxic liquid formed of a metal ion surrounded by several carbon monoxide molecules.  As well as being used to extract metal from ores, 3D printing of the carbonyl liquid, can deposit pure metal in whatever shape needed.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_monoxide</ref>  It is likely that such techniques will be used by future Mars industry.

		+	==Differences in Martian abundances==
		+	On Earth, the 'iron loving' elements were pulled into the core; thus they are rare in Earth's crust and mantle. Mars' core and mantle seem to be less differentiated, so it is possible that these metals are more common on Mars surface. If true, this would be a boon to the future Martian economy as valuable metals would be easier to find and extract.
