Countdown to OBC’s 10th anniversary continues with tin and aluminium!

Continuing our countdown to OBC’s 10th anniversary issue, we’ve collected together 10 tin and aluminium related articles published in the journal. Why? An old tradition in the UK is to give gifts of made of symbolic materials on significant wedding anniversaries, and the metals associated with a 10th wedding anniversary are tin and aluminium. Now, we don’t have any trinkets for you, but why not take a look at some of these interesting tin and aluminium-themed articles!
