Crobalt Tool Alloy

There's a video of it in use here – the "noise" was down to not tightening the chuck fully.

Needless to say, I am of the same mind.

Roderick Jenkins:

I have no doubt that (like me) Bucky would be glad to be corrected on a point of fact. The book I mentioned is a somewhat "popular" exposition of his work co-authored by a friend and admirer and it looks as though whoever wrote the text concerned took his eye off the (Bucky) ball; thanks to you for spotting this.

One of RBF's preoccupations was the use of the world's resources and I found the idea that the US had a bigger tin "mine" above ground than Malaya, etc had below it to be a striking paradox. The discusson about Crobalt makes me wonder how far alloying elements are re-cycled; what happens to those short ends of HSS, etc that are too short for use?
