Questions about the 4,000 lb. shipment of alloy:

1) First and foremost, how much revenue could come from 4,000 lb. of alloy parts? If each part weighs only 1 ounce (28 grams), and there is absolutely zero waste during the manufacturing process, than 4,000 lb. of alloy will yield only 64,000 parts. I don't see LQMT making a few million $$ on 64,000 small parts. Even if the part weighs only 1/2 oz. (14 gm), that = 128,000 parts. - And I'm addressing gross revenue, not net profit. So as I see it, 4,000 lb. of alloy feed stock is a relatively small order.

2) Do we know for certain that the shipment is not for medical use? Zyris uses BMG alloy for part of the external case of their Isolite 3 device. They may be able to use the less expensive industrial formula from Eontec as that part of the case is not in contact with the patient.
