Metallurgy and metal physics

Having spent most of my life working at the borderline between physical metallurgy and metal physics, I wish to discuss some of the characteristics of these two fields of science, and particularly the manner of their interaction: If tonight I seem more critical of physicists than of metallurgists, please remember that this talk is addressed to the former and that metallurgists would be exposed to very different arguments.
