Can it also be used to make Clean Clappers?

They could call it Cu-Li-Ta, but it would sound like a Spanish insult.

On L.E. Modesitt’s world which includes the island of Recluce, this would be Cupridium.

Very fascinating. I’d never heard of cryogenic milling, but it’s been used for decades. It was originally used to pulverize used tires. You get materials below their ductile to brittle transition point and you can smash them to bits in pulverizers.

I see no reference to fracture toughness.
Lack of fracture toughness is always the achilles heel of these “wonder materials”.

HRSA's baby! Heat Resistant Super Alloys. I machine this stuff all day long for a living and yeah its some crazy cool material. That whole HRSA line is. Its amazing how it can be glowing bright orange hot and still maintain its mechanical properties. I think Kelly Johnson of the 1960's Skunk Works era first made it famous.
