Advanced Materials And Trends In The Material Composition Of Product

The material composition of product is defined as the quantity of metal used per unit of product manufactured during a year. The material composition of product has shown steady and persistent declines over time for most metals and materials. This tendency demonstrates the continued improvements in manufacturing technology resulting from substitutions of other materials and increases in production efficiency. The purpose of this paper is to use the material composition of product to show the impact of advanced materials on the use of traditional metals.
