S. Koreans make a new steel - Tougher, Lighter, and Costs Less then Titanium. - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Passing;48915125]I'd be impressed if it wasn't an alloy.[/QUOTE] What does this post mean

[QUOTE=Craigewan;48915042]I was thinking Durasteel, for that Sci-fi edge.[/QUOTE] No, we already have duraluminum and that wasn't nearly as good as advertised

[QUOTE=Passing;48915125]I'd be impressed if it wasn't an alloy.[/QUOTE] I'm gonna assume you mean you'd be impressed if it was a powdered sintered metal and you're not just talking shit about something you don't know the first thing about.

[QUOTE=butre;48914718]thats because they all have aluminum in the name you dweeb[/QUOTE] ...like this alloy?!

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;48916201]...like this alloy?![/QUOTE] "in the name" gangnamium or whatever doesn't have aluminum in the name

This is nice, I was getting tired of seeing "carbon nanotubes" for everything. It's good they let a metallic alloy have a chance today.

[QUOTE=butre;48916219]"in the name" gangnamium or whatever doesn't have aluminum in the name[/QUOTE] Neither do duralumin, duralum, duralium or dural, which are all accepted forms of the word duraluminium? It's all English words that are all but a business name. They don't have to follow any strict rule because it doesn't exist. Stop being linguistically pedantic, even more so in a field that already largely ignores any and all linguistic sense. We call the alloy of copper and tin [I]bronze[/I]. It doesn't fucking matter. If enough people liked the name "gagnamium" it could easily enough happen.

[QUOTE=TestECull;48915246] I'd assume corrosion protection would be done the same way it's done with current steels.[/QUOTE] I'm sure they would still use cathodic protection and special paints but I was leaning more towards the metals physical properties to resist corrosion. Would this stuff rust as fast as normal steel, if at all?

Anti-corrosion(while a big deal) has many alternatives. Silicate bonding is just the current industry standard.

[QUOTE=OvB;48916449]I'm sure they would still use cathodic protection and special paints but I was leaning more towards the metals physical properties to resist corrosion.

Material physics are fucking weird and I could imagine the special microscopic structure of this could make it rust even faster than normal steel. Or less. I have no fucking clue. But discovering the new strongest alloy known to man, with it being cheap as hell, AND rusting slower than steel? That's way too good to be true. It will rust like a motherfucker. Or give cancer when you look at it.

[QUOTE=butre;48916219]"in the name" gangnamium or whatever doesn't have aluminum in the name[/QUOTE] did you ever consider that people can name new things whatever the fuck they want for basically no reason

So when can I make an AK or an AR receiver out of it.

Good work Better Korea.

This is probably what Marth's sword is made from.

[QUOTE=Blanketspace;48917929]This is probably what Marth's sword is made from.[/QUOTE] I thought you said Martin's sword, as in Martin the Warrior from Redwall. :s:

They probably stole this technology from North Korea
