We either have a functional Artificial Intelligence machine churning out discoveries, or we really did find a UFO in Roswell.

Didn’t they have transparent aluminum in a Star Trek movie? I bet it would be lightweight.

There is always something new under the sun. A few years ago it was flash Bainite.

Is 3D printing involved in this? Just idle curiosity.

Lemme guess. This stuff was discovered in 1947 in New Mexico and was recently released from an Ohio Air Force base laboratory.

I hope this new metal is recyclable.The material sounds like it should be great to build Aircraft with.But I wouldn’t want the stuff piling up contaminating the environment.

My guess is that with carbide in the matrix it would be hell on machine tools, so all one could do is to cast it. How the finishing operations might be done economically is yet to be shown.

". Silicon carbide is an ultra-hard ceramic commonly used in industrial cutting blades"

Been a machinist for goin' on 30 yrs, I've never seen a cutting tool made of silicon carbide. Silicon carbide is used as an abrasive, generally for grinding tungsten carbide, which is used for cutters.
