A weekly programme about work in the world of science
Metals, Today and Tomorrow by A. J. Murphy
Professor of Industrial Metallurgy in the University of Birmingham
For the first time in history, engineers (according to Professor Murphy) just cannot have the metals they want, even if they are prepared to pay for them. In this talk he discusses the ever-increasing demand for metals and the ways in whidh the demand will have to be met, for example, by increased mining, more efficient production, and the most appropriate use of the metals we have.
