Would love some feedback on RPD alloys. Getting mixed reviews on Vit. 2000
plus - not stiff enough say some, high ductility is nice, say others.
Bego makes nice stuff, don't they?

EXCELLENT TOPIC!
Yeah good metal is key. Problem is that most
labs are very secretive about what they use,
except the high-end labs whose customers want to know!

Whatever alloy you choose, at all costs, avoid any with beryllium
content to preserve your own health and those of your lab mates. In that
respect, Vitallium seems to be fine.

Heeellllp!

I guess I don't count. If you seriously want an answer about RPD
alloys, there are better places to ask.

YUP old story. Sometimes things that are so
outrageous are ignored by everybody.
Perhaps they are better off, perhaps not! Who knows?

Of course you count, Vaughn! And I appreciate the input. Just wondering
what's happening in everyone else's alloy universe.
