Civilians are heavily dependent on space systems for everyday life. Yet, those same space systems can also be critical for national and international security. While the civilian and military uses of space are governed by international law, the current framework needs to be strengthened to ensure the protection of civilians, particularly in light of the increasing militarization and weaponization of outer space.

In this post, part of a series on War, Law, and Outer Space, Nivedita Raju, a researcher at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), presents an overview of space security governance and proposes three steps towards this objective.

Hello and welcome to our podcast. Today, we will be discussing the advantages of non-ferrous forging and casting.

Non-ferrous metals, such as aluminum, copper, and brass, offer a variety of benefits when it comes to forging and casting. One of the main advantages is their corrosion resistance, making them ideal for applications in which the parts will be exposed to harsh environments or chemicals.

Non-ferrous metals are also known for their excellent thermal conductivity, which is crucial for applications that require good heat dissipation. This makes them a popular choice for components in the automotive and aerospace industries.

Additionally, non-ferrous metals are lightweight yet strong, making them a practical choice for applications where weight is a concern, such as in the production of aircraft and automotive parts.

Overall, non-ferrous forging and casting offer a range of advantages including corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, and lightweight yet strong properties, making them a versatile choice for various industrial applications.

Thank you for listening. Stay tuned for more episodes on materials and manufacturing processes.

Infrastructure planning is intrinsically political – but are there significant differences between how we expect infrastructure planning to occur and the reality of how it plays out? Are our current approaches to the relationship between planning and power working?

In this fifth episode, we build on learnings from Victoria and consider the politics behind infrastructure decisions with Dr James Murphy, drawing on the latest book, ‘The Making and Unmaking of East-West Link’. We consider the roles of electoral strategy, the making of political rationale, and community resistance to ask how we might better unpack the way we think about infrastructure politics.
