Interaction processes between the components of clusters of galaxies are efficient in removing gas from the galaxies and transporting it into the intra-cluster medium. This transport is responsible for the high metallicities found in the intra-cluster medium. So far it is not quite clear what the efficiencies of the various processes and their time dependencies are. The current status of observational evidence in terms of metallicity measurements in clusters, spatial metallicity distribution and metallicity evolution is reviewed in this article. Different types of interaction and metal enrichment processes are discussed: galactic winds, ram-pressure stripping, galaxy-galaxy interaction, jets from AGN, and an intra-cluster stellar population. Results of simulations are presented which take some of these interaction processes into account.
