Re: Castings in FRC

Ive seen teams use casting of metals - but have any of these teams tried using this process to create stronger metals.

For instance: say you were making a wheel shaft out of steel. You could add just a trace ammount of beryllium to the steel and close to double your strength. Without adding any weight.

It's sort of a bad example but I'm curious if any teams with a material sciences mentor has experimented with alloying their own metals.
