The metallurgical industry faces challenges in the development and production of new products in response to rapidly changing technologies that demand materials with widely different properties and increasingly stringent quality control. Such materials include semiconductors, ultrahigh-purity metals, chemical-vapor-deposited metallic films, high-performance intermetallics, metallic superconductors, and metal-based composites. In view of this, the author propounded the establishment of value-addition metallurgy as a subdiscipline of extractive and process metallurgy. Such a subdiscipline would cover the principles and practice involved in the production of these value-added advanced materials based on metals. In this respect, this annual review article now includes a section covering papers concerned with these topics.
