Industrial processes

An industrial process is a Procedure that alters materials or substances (grinding, welding, heat treatment, etc). Some processes make the production of a rare material vastly cheaper, thus changing it into a commodity; i.e. the process makes it economically feasible for society to use the material on a large scale. One of the best examples of this is the change in aluminium from prices more expensive than Washington monument to recyclable/disposable beverage containers.
