Ya right...lol
For example, Fort Wayne
Metals is using equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) to offer improved strength and fatigue life in proven materials like titanium.

“For a given chemistry, you can change the properties in a really broad window solely based on the way you manufacture it,” he said. “That’s a reality a lot of people in the industry don’t fully appreciate.”

“People are very reliant on existing materials,” said Adam Griebel, Senior Research and Development Engineer for Fort Wayne Metals. “It doesn’t mean new alloys won’t show up. We see them all the time, so we’re confident that they will find their place. But it takes longer. If there are new processes that can improve the existing materials to make them work, getting those types of solutions to market can happen more quickly.”
