CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT
CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT... This month, we're featuring Jim Gasowski, who built this FarmBoy using steel and aluminum he got from Speedy.
He says:"Here is a project I just finished in September It's a double sized FarmBoy. All the large blocks (3) of aluminum and large steel came from Speedy, you had the big pieces. I also built the standard size one, sn #003 a few years ago and it ran so well I had to built a bigger one, just had to wait to get a bigger lathe! Weighs about 48 lbs."

DID YOU KNOW?
DID YOU KNOW...? ...that researchers are one step closer to the 'Holy Grail' of structural materials?
Normally in metals, there's a tradeoff between strength and ductility. According to Easo George, the chair for advanced alloy theory and development at ORNL and UT, defeating that tradeoff has long been a "holy grail of structural materials" which will "enable a new generation of lightweight, strong, damage-tolerant materials." Now, George's research team has designed a custom alloy of iron, nickel, aluminum, and titanium with nanoprecipitates of carbon, zirconium, and boron, and carefully controlled the size and spacing of the precipitates, resulting in a material that had both improved strength, and ductility.
