An overview of mathematical modelling in metallurgy is presented. The role of mathematical modelling in metallurgy is described by some illustrative examples such as Induction Smelting Process, Casting and carburising. Some metallurgical processes are cited where mathematical models are still in their infancy due to lack of knowledge of physical phenomena such as spray forming, liquid flow through porous media. Finally, it is stressed that mathematical models must be reachable to industries and common public in user friendly way which is illustrated citing few examples based on Graphical User Interface, statistical analysis and, analytical solutions.
