Abstract: | The USA is heavily dependent on foreign sources for supplies of key materials essential to the nation's defence and to the operation of its vital industries. For example, it depends on foreign sources for 22 of the 27 metals considered vital to the country's economy. A public workshop on Conservation and Substitution Technology for Critical Materials was held from 15–17 June 1981 at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennesse, to examine national policies towards resolving the supply problems associated with chromium, cobalt, tantalum and titanium. |
