Recentmetallurgical research is concerned about the preparation of radioactive metals,with refining rare metals, with acquiring metals economically fromlow grade minerals, and with the alloys formulation. Tremendous quantities ofsteels, aluminium, titanium,copper, and nickel compositesare utilized for vehicles, ships, airplane, bridges, spacecraft, and buildings.
Corrosion is a dangerousand costly problem. Corrosionthreatens the safe disposal of radioactive waste that must be stored incontainers for tens of thousands of years, corroded medical implants may causeblood poisoning .There are plenty of methods for protection against corrosionwhich are in common use, whether by providing a physical barrier or deliberatecontrol of the corrosion reaction.
Mining is challenging field for bothmachine and human. As the demand for minerals become higher and thesources of useful metals are depleted, reuse and recoveryare becomes significant.
