Can the uses of Gold get any better than making new jewelry trinkets or used as
a corrosion resistant plating for circuit boards or as a infrared radiation heat shield on astronaut helmets?
Rice University has discovered a new alloy made of Gold and Titanium that is
4X stronger than most steel alloys.
The researchers say the alloy sample pretty much destroyed a diamond pestle and mortar used to crush the sample for
testing in a spectrum analyzer.
The addition of Gold to Titanium makes an alloy that will find uses in medical limb and joint replacements.
I think the price of Gold will start to climb when all of the uses of this new alloy are discovered.
Heads of state will be beside themselves thinking about their new shiny gold alloy Armour limos that
will be on sale soon.
