Some of the alloys we used were proprietary blends for companies or gov't. Back in '96 we had made prototype parts for the stealth helicopter used in the Bin Laden raid. Ran the job and there was just a nub left of the barstock. I tossed in the garbage can. Airforce guys showed up and wanted it back. Told em have at it and pointed at the dumpster.
