Smelting vs Melting: Key Differences and Practical Applications

The two terms, smelting and melting, sound similar, but they are different terms that have different applications.

Smelting is the process by which a metal is obtained at a high temperature beyond its melting point from its ore.

The smelting process turns raw ore into useful metals for various applications like buildings, cars, planes, and electronics.

Melting is a process of changing or converting the state of a substance from solid to liquid form.

Hence, in the melting process, a substance is heated to its melting temperature so that it can change its phase from solid to liquid.

This video explores all the major differences between smelting and melting along with their basic processes.
