METALWORKING
Metalworking is the process of shaping 1. to create objects after smelting, in which 2. are heated in order to extract their base metal.

History:
• in ancient 3. , the blacksmiths were very skilled at creating objects
• with the Industrial 4. , new 5. were invented for more specialised products, giving rise to the modern 6.

Modern techniques:
• 7. → removal of excess metal using different 8.
• casting → molten metal into rigid 9.
• 10. → compressive 11. shape metals
• forming → mechanical 12. → no adding or removing material, mass remains 13.
• 14. → more pieces of metal joined together with welding, brazing, and soldering
