'''Metal''' is a [[material]] extracted from [[ore]] at a [[smelter]], turning the ore into '''bars''' of pure metal. (One [[adamantine|special metal]] becomes wafers instead of bars.) It is sometimes combined with other materials to form an '''alloy''' metal, which is also measured by the bar. An alloy usually improves on the properties of its components to give more uses or increased [[Item value|value]]. The metal bars resulting from [[smelting]] are used to make items such as [[weapon]]s, [[armor]], [[furniture]], and [[crafts]] at a [[Metalsmith's forge|forge]].

Smelting pure ores into the corresponding bars raises the base value from that of stone (3) to that of bars (5). This value is then multiplied against the [[value#Material multipliers|material multiplier]] of the metal to give the final value for the bar.

There are only eleven pure metals in Dwarf Fortress (plus a twelfth [[Adamantine|special metal]]).  Many of these can be mixed together to create '''alloys''' of one type or another, of which there are another fourteen.  In some cases making alloys will result in an overall increase in value, or the resultant alloy will be more powerful when used to forge weapons or armor, though many alloys result in no overall increase in utility or [[Wealth|created wealth]]. (These increases in value can be compared in the "Difference" column of the below table.)

The main use of these alloys is to allow you to stretch any useful metals you have too few of or to create items with distinct colors (for instance, [[rose gold]] is [[Color schemes|magenta]]) for furniture, color-coding rooms or levers, or artistic constructions (including [[floor]] mosaics). In some cases ([[bronze]], for example) an additional benefit is reduced fuel consumption, as you can create multiple bars of some alloys directly from raw ores with only one [[smelter]] task, bypassing the need to first make bars of the pure metals (and thus using only one fuel unit to produce multiple bars).  The number of bars used to create an alloy always equals the number of bars produced: the number of bars input equals the number of bars of output.

:'''Yield Strength''' - The stress at which material strain changes from elastic deformation to plastic deformation, causing it to deform permanently.
 
−
:'''Fracture Strength''' - The stress coordinate on the stress-strain curve at the point of rupture.

:Explanations!

::'''Yield Strength''' is the amount of stress required to permanently deform (bend) a material (plastic deformation)
 
−
::'''Fracture Strength''' is the amount of stress required to permanently break (rupture) a material
 
−
::'''Elasticity''' (or ''IMPACT_STRAIN_AT_YIELD'' in RAWs) is the amount of deformation (bending) that occurs at the yield point
 
−
:Implications to Dwarf Fortress Combat
 
−
::Yield combined with Elasticity can tell what a material will do under stress (be it from a hammer, axe, or arrow)
 
−
::Higher yield means that it takes more stress to deform

::Lower elasticity means that it will deform less when stress is applied

Adamantine and Steel take first and second place respectively, with Iron the third best material in the game. Beyond which, bronze is in a close tie with copper as to being the second worst material. As in older versions, silver continues to hold steady as the worst material available (no longer beneficial with wooden training weapons being available now) in regards to edged weaponry.
+
It's interesting to note that the material order has been changed from previous versions. Adamantine and Steel still take first and second place respectively, but Bronze is now the third best material in the game. Beyond which, Iron has been demoted and is in a close tie with copper as to being the second worst material. Iron makes negligibly better blunt weapons and possibly better cutting weapons. The cutting weapon evaluation really depends on the importance of the various stats as copper has better shear fracture and shear elasticity than iron. As in older versions however, silver continues to hold steady as the worst material available (no longer beneficial with wooden training weapons being available now).
−
Additionally, with regards to blunt weapons almost all of the non-adamantine materials perform equally well, with a very slight edge towards steel and silver. Here is the thread with the details:
