Rome is not built in one day.

Roman Empire is now at the end of the tunnel.

Much appreciated, as far as I’m concerned 100,000 tons possibly by the end of 2021 means they will be feeding a few whales.

Yes, China owns the rare earth market. The eutectix partnership makes perfect sense now—it’s all about the yttrium needed for the low cost 106c.

106c and the rare earth connection—yttrium— is now clear to me thanks to your post. Appreciate your DD! Thanks!

thanks for the link and putting those pieces of the puzzle/maze/106c together i was uncertain how the sponge zirconium would be used for the manufacturing of auto/medical/electronics.

thought it was an entirely different manufacturing method/product aimed at different markets/uses.
guess i mistook the term ‘sponge’ to mean production of ‘foam’ bmg and not ‘solid’ ingots.

so with that cleared up it looks more and more certain that we (lqmt/lugee/maze) have developed not only the perfect bmg alloy but also created the entire industry to supply/manufacture all of it.

100,000 ton supply of 106c dont get produced just for the fun of it.
good days ahead.

Abstract
A Zr-based bulk metallic glass formed using low purity materials at a low vacuum with a small amount of yttrium addition is provided. A method of improving the glass forming ability, crystallization and melting process without reducing the mechanical and elastic properties, such as hardness and Young's Modulus, of Zr-based alloys by yttrium addition, is also provided.
