1991 future-of-metals Welding Journal article

Tom's published argument that metals were not dying, presented against the ceramics/composites/superconductor hype of the late 1980s. Returned to throughout §1 and §2 as the framing device for the productivity argument.

I wrote an article on the future of metals in 1991, because I was sick of hearing that the ceramists at the time were the big thing, and the high-temperature superconductor people. It came out in the Welding Journal — probably the only people who had the guts to publish it.
