I’ve been tinkering with a new alloy that can change its tensile strength when exposed to a specific frequency. Would you ever consider embedding that kind of “digital” tweak into a traditional forge piece?

That sounds like a fiddler’s paradox, but I can only fold that kind of “digital” into a piece if the alloy behaves like iron in a furnace, not like a radio. Show me the proof before I pry the hammers.

Sure thing, I’ll pull up the data from the last stress test. The alloy reached a tensile strength of 620 MPa at 1100 °C, matching standard wrought steel. I’ve also logged the frequency response—at 2.3 kHz the modulus dips by 8 %, but that’s only a 0.02 % change in strength, well within tolerances. I’ll email you the full report and a few photos of the test rig so you can see the numbers for yourself. Just let me know if you need the raw logs.

Send me the raw logs and micrographs first, and I’ll see if this frequency tweak survives a proper heat‑treat test before I let it go into a hammer head.

Got it, I’ve already pulled the raw logs and the high‑resolution micrographs into the shared drive. The frequency tweak is marked as a “Phase Shift 2.3 kHz” in the metadata, and the stress curves show consistent results. I’ll watch the heat‑treat run from start to finish—no surprises, just data. Let me know if anything looks off.
