Metals have been used by humans for thousands of years and are a highly versatile construction material. Due to their individual properties, each metal is suitable for their own specific area of usage. For example, steel is heavy but strong and easy to shape. Aluminum is lightweight and corrosion-resistant, but it requires a lot of energy to manufacture. In this film, you'll learn more about our most common metals and their versatile applications. You'll get introduced to titanium, which is hard and lightweight and has properties that make it suitable for use inside the body. And copper, which is excellent for pipes and electrical constructions due to its conducting properties. The film also emphasizes the importance of recycling metals as much as possible since metal production requires a lot of energy and damages the environment.
