Metal is a material extracted from ore at a smelter, turning the ore into bars* of pure metal. It is sometimes combined with other materials to form an alloy metal. An alloy usually improves on the properties of its components to give more uses and/or value. The metal bars resulting from smelting are used to make items such as weapons, armor, furniture, and crafts at a forge.
Smelting pure ores into the corresponding bars raises the base value from that of a stone (3) to that of a bar* (5). This value is then multiplied against the material multiplier of the metal.
- (* except adamantine, which produces "wafers" instead of bars)
Alloys
Many metals can be mixed together to create alloys. In a few cases these alloys will result in an overall increase in value, or the resultant alloy will be more powerful when used to forge weapons or armour. Many alloys result in no overall increase in wealth. The main use of these alloys is to allow you to dilute any valuable metals you import, or to create items with interesting colours: for instance, rose gold is purple. An additional benefit is reduced fuel use as in some cases you can create alloys from raw ores.
In terms of maximizing total material value, currentlyv0.28.181.40d tin should be made into fine pewter or bronze or bismuth bronze (depending on availability of the necessary ores), and zinc should be made into brass. If copper is limited, it should be used for fine pewter. Nickel and lead do not form monetarily valuable alloys:
- 2 tin, 1 copper, and 1 lead can form 4 lay pewter worth 12, or 3 trifle pewter and 1 lead worth 14.
- 2 nickel, 1 copper, and 1 zinc can form 4 nickel silver worth 12, or 2 nickel and 2 brass worth 18.
However, nickel silver is magma-safe, so it can be useful if you're short on nickel and iron and haven't found any bauxite.
For a full chart of recipes for alloys, see smelting.

Legend:
- Reaction indicates the recipe for an alloy metal; this does not include the fuel used in their creation.
- #You can use only bars of metal in this reaction, not ores.
- Weapons/Armor is the damage/blocking multiplier for weapons and armor in combat. Unless otherwise noted, any metal that can be used for weapons can also be used to make ammo, picks, and crossbows.
- *Silver has a 50% armor multiplier, but can't voluntarily be used to make armor. However, a dwarf with a strange mood might forge silver armor.
- Density is used to determine the different weight of finished objects.
- Value is per bar.
- Value Increase indicates the difference between the average value of the required bars of metals vs. the value of the resulting bars of alloy - what went in vs. what comes out, measured per bar. This table does not show increases in value from ores to bars of pure metals.
