metal content

Alloy's elemental makeup

Metal content is the amount or proportion of metal present in something—ore, alloy, water, or manufactured goods.

Mining operations assess metal content to determine whether extraction is economically viable: The ore's gold content was too low to justify mining.

Environmental testing measures metal content in water or soil to detect contamination.

In manufacturing, metal content specifications ensure materials meet quality standards.
