Verterium cortenide 947/952

You just found one. Graduate from the University of Michigan in 1981, BSE degree in Materials and Metallurgical Engineering (now called Material Science and Engineering since 1985).

Hooray! This is what I was looking for! Thank you!

So next part of the question is, how would that apply with other compounds as mentioned here:
Two pages after the above, we have a mention of "hafnium 6 excelion-infused carbonitrium"; the next page has "hafnium 8 molyferrenite". Page 69 (nice) talks of "forced-matrix 2378 cortanium and stainless steel"; two pages on mentions "854 kalinite-argium". Page 75 has another mention of the 2378 cortanium, & yet another two pages after that talks of "verterium cortenide 934".

And while I'm here....all those fun, currently artificial elements in the 100+ range like copernicium & flerovium & such: obviously they'd be highly radioactive, but could they in theory be refined to a metallic state like plutonium or uranium if enough of a naturally stable isotope could be found or created?

I wish I knew this about you earlier.

I would've asked you about where to categorize some of the elements that we haven't discovered yet.

I'm having issues of where elements 165-172 should be categorized as.
Should they be categorized as:
- Undiscovered Super Actinide
OR
- Undiscovered (Transition/Post Transition) Metal
?

Where does Element 119/120 fit into?

This is pretty complicated for my old brain; I'm mostly a cast then heat-and-beat guy and not great with chemistry and nuclear physics. I don't expect any "magical" science properties from any super heavy elements even if they make/find stable ones up there. The only real elements/materials mentioned are Hafnium and of course stainless steel.

My funny story with Hafnium: one of my employees found a block (~ 1 kg) of "heavy" metal in an old file cabinet in our project management office area. It was marked as "Hafnium". We all thought, "What the f**k, why is this here?" :wtf: We never found out, but I assume a previous employee about 25 years ago was running some alloying studies with our R&D group. How do I get rid of it? I called one of my contacts in the R&D group and asked what to do. He told me to bring it to him and he'll "take care of it". Never heard from it again.:whistle:
