[TheForge] New metal alloys overcome strength-ductility tradeoff

[jerry Frost]

I'd be interested to hear a little about how they're alloying "by a
different method" to make strong and malleable. How desirable that is must
depend on the "strong" you need per application. For instance a malleable
die, or cutter wouldn't be such a hot thing.

Thanks for the link, I really enjoyed reading the article and the one in the
menu on the right about the new ceratopsian dinosaur fossils. 

Thanks again. Frosty

New alloys are being developed. I wonder how forgeable they'll be?
