forgive my simplicity. if we want to discuss materials technology, i'm certainly up for it. perhaps we should start a new thread to discuss the oxidation process, the variety of secondary operations to eliminate it, or even get into the crystalline matrix issues that allow it to occur in the first place. or we could get into buckyball options that are opening up a whole new class of materials. or maybe....
wrt titanium, i guess people haven't watched the movie "Outland". guess what they were mining on Io in that SF flick....
wrt carbon fiber, that cost is prohibitive both in the material and in the lay-up. i assume everyone here is aware of why the lay-up issue is going away and composite materials are ready to make a leap forward in useability....
does it really require a treatise to get my point across?
