* [[Case-hardening]], [[differential hardening]], [[shot peening]] – creating a wear-resistant surface
* [[Casting]] – shaping of a liquid material by pouring it into moulds and letting it solidify
* [[Die (manufacturing)|Die cutting]] – A "forme" or "die" is pressed onto a flat material in order to cut, score, punch and otherwise shape the material
* [[Electric arc furnace]] — very-high-temperature processing
* [[Forging]] – the shaping of metal by use of heat and hammer
* [[Hydroforming]] – a tube of metal is expanded into a mould under pressure
* [[Precipitation hardening]] – heat treatment used to strengthen malleable materials
* [[Progressive stamping]] – the production of components from a strip or roll
* [[Sandblasting]] – cleaning of a surface using sand or other particles
* [[Smelting]] and direct reduction – extracting metals from ores
* [[Soldering]], [[brazing]], [[welding]] – a process for joining metals
* [[Stamping (metalworking)|Stamping]]
* [[Steelmaking]] – turning "pig iron" from smelting into steel
* [[Tumble polishing]] – for polishing
* [[Work hardening]] – adding strength to metals, alloys, etc.

===Iron and steel===
* [[Basic oxygen steelmaking]]
* [[Bessemer process]]
* [[Blast furnace]] – produced cast iron
* [[Catalan forge]], [[open hearth furnace]], [[bloomery]] – produced wrought iron
* [[Cementation process]]
* [[Crucible steel]]
* Direct reduction – produced [[direct reduced iron]]
* [[Smelting]] – the process of using furnaces to produce steel, copper, etc.
