Criticality Assessment of All Metals

Caption

In this three-dimensional graphic, researchers illustrate the "criticality" of all 62 metals based on their scores in three areas: supply risk, environmental implications, and vulnerability to supply restrictions. Metals (some of which are indicated by their chemical symbols) with the higher levels of risk appear in the upper back right corner of the box.
