Summary
Heavy metals--uranium, iron, lead, zinc, copper, and nickel--occupy a select portion of the periodic table. They are essential to America's economic and military might. But some of them are among the most mundane of all elements: copper, lead, zinc, and nickel. This film also looks at the superalloys--consisting of steel combined with other metals--that resist corrosion and perform increasingly elaborate functions. From Earth to space, cosmetics to vitamins, in a million different ways, heavy metals are here to stay.
