I use Wikipedia all the time! I don't think it is unreliable, I'm saying that some people think Wikipedia is unreliable. God, Alf, think before you post ;-)Also, by subtle I meant it isn't commonly known, certainly not as common as iron, steel or bronze.

=P

It may be subtle, but it is a very well known metal in the metallurgical circles as well as the modern industry. It is kind of on the same field as Cobalt, in that both are highly utilized by alloyers who create the high-speed steel needed for things like cutting tools and high-strain working conditions. I did a lot of my research on metals and construction of tools for another RP when I ran dwarves, so I still have about 40 some odd links on metallurgical processes and different metals.
