OK folks….I spent 25+ years developing and perfecting new technologies and the actual formula is only the beginning of a starting point….it’s not difficult to dream up combinations of atomic radii that will inhibit crystalline structure formation. I bet 80-90% of the technology is in the process technology. This is constantly evolving… think 16 cavity dies and reducing cycle times from 5 minutes to 2 minutes. It all contributes to the economics. Others have tried an failed when they had 30-50% parts rejection rates for quality issues. This part of the technology isn’t published/it isn’t shared with customers but developed with experience over time. It’s a significant barrier to entry for competition…..just making a few samples means nothing if you can’t take it to the next level.
