WERE DOING SPECBIO STUFF AGAIN BABY. Feels fucking good to get back to my roots (i get to close 50 tabs worth of research now. Delightful)

Terminators are made of a Titanium Alloy (Im going with ferrotitanium which is a mix of iron and titanium. They never specify in the movie what the titanium is mixed with so fuck it we ball baby)) skeleton contains limited amounts of Mimetic Polyalloy (fake material used for the terminator in terminator two). Mimetic polyalloy can be hard or flexible and will be used to create new structures that the iron collected from food will later fully establish. This will allow his metal endoskeleton to mimic standard growth that a regular skeleton would have growing up.

When first introduced to the foster system (medical checkups are required once entering the foster system. The police probably do some checkups on Robbie also just to make sure hes okay when they find him), medical tests show that he has anemia, so it’s  recommended he be put on iron supplements. My reasoning is any iron in his blood is almost instantly sent to work on growing his endoskeleton. That means the actual amount of iron left in his blood is pretty low (the opposite of this is hemochromatosis which is when there's too much iron in your blood). I could see him probably trying to stop iron supplements but I think there would be some side effects to convince him to start taking them again. His joints might ache or I could see child terminator Robbie saying some mildly concerning shit like ‘my bones feel hungry’. I also think he might crave foods that are high in iron. Like beef/chicken liver, canned tuna, and seafood. Idk how frequently he could AFFORD these things but yk. The endoskeleton hungers eternal  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nanobots are used to repair wiring for his nervous system, synthetic muscular system, acts as his immune system and sometimes accelerates healing for his organic systems (organic parts of his muscular system, skin, and nerves). For the most part his organic systems heal on their own at about the same pace as a normal human person. Nanomachines/nanoparticles are fueled by glucose (if Robbie needs work done by the nanobots he might need to eat or crave sugar both before and afterwards). 

He probably has a fairly (?) normal digestive system and circulatory system. The spread of his circulatory system is just more limited because some parts of him don't really need blood. . The primary job of the nanomachines when they aren't busy healing or growing his body is to harvest as much heme iron from the food/supplements he consumes as possible so that it can be repurposed later. His immune system is taken care of by the nanobots so all he has to worry about is red blood cell and plasma production. Similar to adults, most of this takes place in his spine, ribs, skull and breastbone. The red bone marrow is stored inside these metal parts and the red blood cells are then released into his bloodstream. Plasma is created in the liver and also in bone marrow so most of that stays the same

Another fun bit about the endoskeleton:

Bones close to his skin that are in danger of being exposed (knuckles, kneecaps, cheekbones) have a very thin enamel coating to preserve the illusion that they are bones. But underneath it’s all just the same Ferrotitanium.

onto the muscular system

Muscles are laced with a Shape Memory Alloy called Nitinol. A flexible (SURPRISINGLY durable godamn) metal material made of nickel and titanium that reacts to electrical and thermal impulses. It’s already used in the medical field (I can not fucking BELIVE that this is real thats so so so SO fucking cool). Superficial muscles are more organic (80% muscle 20% nitinol) but as the muscles go deeper they become more and more synthetic (20% muscle 40% nitinol 40% titanium wiring for durability). Superficial muscles are more muscle for stealth purposes. If injuries go deeper than anticipated he will still be able to fly mostly under the radar, assuming no wires have been significantly dislodged. If he’s been injured into the deeper layers then there’s no use in trying to lay low anymore. He’s clearly in a combat situation and stealth protocols no longer matter.

ALSO I did some math to try and figure out how heavy Robbie would be with all this metal in his system. Heres the logic for my equation:

CONTENT WARNING. MATH.

About 12 - 15% of your body mass is bone. A person weighing 155 lbs will have about 22lbs of bones. One Cubic centimeter of bones will weigh about 1.85 grams.

Ferrotitanium alloy is 4.5 grams per cubic centimeter. 

The equation 1.85/4.5 = 22/x in which x is his new bodyweight. Multiply 1.85 by 2.43 to get 4.5. Because the equation must be symmetrical you then multiply 22 by 2.43 to get 53.5 lbs.

With all of the extra metal in his system, I think it would be reasonable to assume that he LOOKS like he should be about 155 lbs but his actual weight is around 250 lbs. I have. NO idea how doctors are going to deal with this.

Had some VERY FUN hypotheticals from @moosemonstrous (thank you for proofreading my insanity once again <3) about his body shedding as much water as possible and like. shriveling his organs to drop as much weight as possible before doctors appointments. But given that he is a cyborg and not an android I do think that might kill him so Im thinking??? Maybe people just assume the scale is broken.... every single time he's in.

IDK man if they have access to his wack ass file then his breaking the conservation of mass is the least weird thing in there.

OKAY YAYYYYY NOW THAT I HAVE HIS INTERWORKINGS LAID OUT I CAN DO FUN CYBORG GORE!!!!! <33

Max Planck scientists design a process that merges metal extraction, alloying and processing into one single, eco-friendly step. Their results are now published in the journal Nature. Metal production is responsible for 10% of global CO2 emissions, with iron production emitting two tons of CO2 for every ton of metal produced, and nickel production emitting 14 tons of CO2 per ton and even more, depending on the ore used. These metals form the foundation of alloys that have a low thermal expansion, called Invar. They are critical for the aerospace, cryogenic transport, energy and precision instrument sectors. Recognizing the environmental toll, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials (MPI-SusMat) have now developed a new method to produce Invar alloys without emitting CO2 while saving a vast amount of energy -- achieving this in a single-step process that integrates metal extraction, alloying, and thermomechanical processing into a single reactor and process step.

🥪 Tell us any random headcanon/s you have?

Most of my head canons end up in my writing but there are a few that are just floating around…

1) Kinesium comes from space

Since kinesium was found around iron, nickel, and hydrosulfuric acid, I think kinesium started out as a iron-nickel alloy that was kit be a meteor that trapped/had trapped H2S within it and brought the element that makes kinesium special that was substituted into the alloy.

Why were there aliens in Russia? Because Russia has the biggest kinesium deposit and the aliens use it/wanted it

(I put way to much irl chemical analysis to kinesium to a game with a very different periodic table)

2) John Juniper is the Phantom

This is largely wishful thinking but I think he’s the only character unaccounted for that knows both Agent Phoenix and Zoraxis well enough to get the tokens in their hiding places and predict our behavior (he could also be working with V Vitti)

3) Zoraxis’s main goal is to be evil and all the business stuff is secondary

It’s why all of their products that were advertised to us are dangerous/shitty. The world leaders didn’t trust Zoraxis for a reason

4) Zor collects the lighters of the agents that have been defeated by Zoraxis

This one was mentioned in passing in the latest entry to the celebrity crush series but I think that’s why they have so many EOD lighters. They were never part of the agency

United Technologies, Pratt and Whitney J 58 information. The SR 71 and the A- 12( except for the trainer version it had J 75 engines.) All had these engines.

Legislation Twin United Technologies, corporation, UTC, Pratt and Whitney J 58 engines powered the United States, Air Force, Lockheed corporation, SR,- 71 Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft holds the record for the fastest coast-to-coast records for speed. A little history about the J 58 engine.

J 58 engine studies began in 1955. Design of the basic J 58 engine, which could dash to Mach three began in 1956 as a US Navy program the first Engine run came on Christmas Eve 1957 it evolve to meet the requirements for an engine to operate continuously at more than Mach 3 (2000 mph) and go higher than 80,000 feet.

A unique design feature of the J 58 was It’s bleed bypass system that consisted of three large diameter pipes, running along each side of the engine. At high Mach, a portion of the air would bypass the compressor and the turbine section giving it a stall-free operation, the bleed feature lead to the popular description of the J 58 engine, as being a turbo ramjet.

Prototype J 58 engines were flown as early as 1962 and the first production engines known as “YJ’s” flew a short time later.

The only major modification to the Engine’s Design occurred in 1964 when a lightweight afterburner and a variable vane inlet case were incorporated, making “K” engine. The continuous operation in military and after-burning conditions were also unique to this engine design requirement. It was in 1990 the only engine rated for continuous after burning. The engine can operate continuously at more than Mach three temperatures generated by the speed require that the engine parts be made of high temp alloys., next is a description of those metals that were chosen. Titanium in the very front of the engine was chosen for weight considerations. WASPALOY, a nickel-iron alloy, was chosen for most other components, other alloys used include INCONEL, ASTROLOY, HASTELLOY-X, AND HAYNES-25.

The fuel J-1 was latter called J-7 is used not only for combustion, but as a Hydraulic fluid, and it is the primary coolant of all controlled system components, even the engine oil is unique it is pure synthetic polyphenyl ether, and chemically stable up to 650°F. I found this information in my father's notes. ~ Linda Sheffield Miller

Folding bowie knives and dirks, 19th century

The terms “folding dirk” and “folding bowie knife” are used, often interchangeably, to refer to large, well-made, usually ornate jack knives of the mid-19th century that were designed primarily as weapons. Strictly speaking, “folding dirk” refers only to such knives that have double-edged “dirk” or dagger blades. “Folding bowie,” the more general term, encompasses larger folding dirks, as well as big folding combat knives with clip-point or spear-point blades.

Folding dirks and bowies were the pocket-carry counterparts of the better-known fixed-blade bowie knives. Bowie knives leapt to national attention in 1827 with the notorious Sandbar Fight involving James Bowie and remained in vogue for about half a century. The folding bowie may have been just as popular as the less costly fixed blade in the 1830s, the enthusiastic early years of the bowie trend. By the 1850s, the big folders were in eclipse. After the Civil War, only small folding dirks were still available.

Almost all folding dirks and bowie knives were made in Sheffield and are over 4 1/2 inches long closed. They are generally slender, and most have a cross-guard integral with the front bolsters. Ornamental appearance was an important consideration in the design of folding dirks and bowies. Consequently, they were made in a wide variety of shapes. Another factor in their diversity of shape is that most were made from circa 1830 to 1860, before mass production and pattern standardization had taken hold in the cutlery industry. Not only are the shapes of the big knives varied but so, too, are their decorations. Their bolsters are almost always ornately embossed.

Though the knives were handmade, their fancy nickel-silver bolsters were mass-produced. Standard designs were stamped out by specialist companies and sold to the makers. Some of the original dies used to stamp these fancy mounts still exist, which helps account for a certain amount of counterfeiting—most of which is inept—and questionable repair work.

Handle materials on folding dirks and bowies are generally of high quality. Stag, ivory and mother-of-pearl are the most often encountered. Horn and tortoise shell are more unusual. We have not observed bone or wood handles on them, but some may exist.

The principal makers of folding dirks and bowies seem to have been Samuel C. Wragg, William and Samuel Butcher, George Wostenholm & Sons, and Robert and Joseph Lingard. Many other Sheffield names are found on the knives as well.

The Commonly Used Metal 3D Printing Materials

Metal 3D printing uses a variety of metal powders, wires, and even liquid resins infused with metal. Almost any metal can be 3D printed, from stainless steel to nickel-based alloys, and in practice, about 8 are most commonly used. The most common question about metal 3D printing is: Will the final part have the same mechanical properties as a machined, moulded or forged metal part? The answer is yes, and sometimes even better mechanical quality, but it depends a lot on the metal 3D printing technology you use, the type of feedstock used, post-processing and the shape of the part. In addition, the comparison depends on the aspects you are concerned about: for example, tensile strength, static load strength, high cycle fatigue, and so on.

In general, the material properties of metal parts made by metal bond jetting are equivalent to those of metal parts produced by metal injection moulding, and it is one of the most widely used manufacturing methods for the mass production of metal parts. These 8 metal alloys below are just the beginning of what is possible today as metal material producers continue to push the boundaries and customize metal alloys for specific needs using specific metal 3D printing technologies.

1.Stainless Steel Feature: All-round Stainless steel is not the material most commonly used in 3D printing, but many alloy varieties. The first two are 316L and 17-4 PH, but also 304L, 15-5 PH, 420, 254, PH1, GP1, 630, and 410 can be printed, as well as custom blends produced by material manufacturer. These steels are specifically designed to resist corrosion. They are a lightweight and affordable metal that is ideal for 3D printing. This is because it is faster and cheaper than traditional methods and can print small batches and complex parts. 3D printing is the preferred option for companies that need a single tool or several replacement parts. Stainless steel can be used in almost any type of 3D printing, from economical wire for extruded 3D printing on benchtop machines to powder for binder jetting and laser powder bed fusion, and even resin.

2.Tool Steel Feature: High hardness, good wear resistance Tool steels, like stainless steels, come in different varieties with different tensile strengths, ductility, hardness and other properties. Tool steels are a variety of alloy steels designed specifically for the manufacture of tools. They are known for their hardness, wear resistance and ability to hold a cutting edge at high temperatures. This 3D printing steel is commonly used in the manufacture of injection mould inserts, aerospace components, military applications, manufacturing tools, as well as construction and architecture. The main advantage of 3D printed tool steel is not only its strength, but also its unique ability to create parts with internal channels (e.g. cooling channels in moulding tools) and lattice fillings that cannot be manufactured by traditional methods.

3.Low-Alloy Steel All 3D printing steels are alloys, but this category includes steels with low or less than 5 per cent of other elements. These low alloy steels are designed to have higher mechanical properties and greater resistance to wear and corrosion than other steels which are commonly used in automotive, aerospace and structural applications.

4.Aluminum Feature: Lightweight and corrosion resistant For aerospace, automotive and industry, the design freedom and cost efficiency of 3D printing further enhances the lightweight and chemical resistance of aluminum components. The use of aluminum and aluminum alloys in 3D printing is surging because the metal is economical and easy to 3D print. Like most metals, aluminum can be used as wire or powder for a variety of 3D printing techniques. Aluminium has good chemical resistance, is very light and has one of the best strength-to-weight ratios of any metal. Combined with silicon and magnesium, it is the choice of many in the aerospace and automotive industries because of its ability to withstand harsh conditions.

5.Titanium Feature: Lightweight and biocompatible As strong as steel but half the weight, titanium is a complex metal that is practically made for 3D printing. Titanium has become one of the most commonly used metals in additive manufacturing, with a wide range of applications in aerospace, joint replacement and surgical tools, racing car and bicycle frames, electronics and other high-performance products. Titanium and titanium-based alloys offer high mechanical strength, high strength-to-weight ratios and better corrosion resistance than stainless steel. It makes rockets and aircraft lighter, thus saving fuel and increasing payload capacity. In the medical industry, 3D printed titanium implants have been successfully used in the spine, hips, knees and extremities due to the inherent biocompatibility and good mechanical properties of the metal, coupled with the ability to customize porous structures with 3D printing, allowing for osseointegration and mass customization for better patient outcomes.

6.Copper Feature: Electrical and thermal conductivity 3D printing using pure copper and space-age copper alloys is available with a range of metal 3D printers and services. You can create rapid copper prototypes using copper filament on an FDM 3D printer and large copper rocket boosters using copper alloys on a laser powder bed fusion 3D printer. There is also copper wire and copper resin for micro 3D printing. In fact, copper plays a huge role in the global sustainable development goals as a key component of electric motors, charging infrastructure, solar energy and batteries.

7.Nickel Alloy Feature: Extreme environments resistant Nickel-based alloys and "high-temperature alloys" are known for their excellent high-temperature strength, corrosion and oxidation resistance. These alloys retain their strength and mechanical properties at high temperatures. They are commonly used in demanding applications such as aerospace, gas turbines, chemical processing and marine environments. In recent years, these alloys have also become increasingly popular in 3D printing, especially in the aerospace and automotive industries. When referring to nickel alloys, you may hear the term inconel. Inconel is the trade name for a range of nickel-chromium-based high-temperature alloys, including IN625, IN718 and IN939. Nickel alloys are generally more expensive than other materials such as steel and aluminium and may not be suitable for low temperature applications.

8.Cobalt Chrome Feature: High temperature and corrosion resistance 3D printed cobalt chrome has a high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance, making it a good material choice for aerospace components and industrial machinery. It is also biocompatible and is often used in orthopaedic implants, dental prosthetics and medical devices that require long-term contact with biological tissue. Cobalt-chromium alloys can be processed using additive manufacturing techniques such as selective laser melting (SLM) or electron beam melting (EBM). This allows complex geometries and customized parts to be produced with minimal material waste, making it attractive to industries adopting advanced manufacturing techniques.

To sum up, metal 3D printing uses a wide range of metal powders and wires, including stainless steel, tool steel, etc. to print complex parts with superior mechanical properties. Commonly used metals in 3D printing include aluminum, titanium, copper, nickel alloys, tool steel, cobalt-chromium alloys, stainless steel for aerospace, medical and jewellery applications and more.

The Iron-Nickel-Chromium Ternary System

Despite the labeling of the phase diagram from Phase Poll #8, the Fe-Ni-Cr diagram isn’t strictly a diagram of stainless steel compositions. True, stainless steels are iron based alloys containing both nickel and chromium in varying amounts, but if we move to the nickel side of the phase diagram, for example, we start moving toward nickel-based superalloys, not steels, which by definition are predominantly iron. Which isn’t even taking into account the numerous other elements present in steels and the other alloys touched upon by this system, including manganese, molybdenum, titanium, aluminum, etc.

Alloys within this space include the following (all compositions are approximate averages of the many alloys within each category):

Austenitic stainless steels usually have around 18% Cr and 10% Ni, sometimes with some Mo or Ti. Ferritic stainless steels and martensitic stainless steels usually have around 16% Cr, but they don’t always even contain nickel. Duplex stainless steels have around 25% Cr and lower Ni at around 5%, in addition to some Mo. Precipitation hardening steels again have around 16% Cr, but can vary widely in their Ni content, from 5-25%. Moving away from steels, Ni-based superalloys such as Inconels can have 15-30% Cr and 5-10% Fe, with the balance as nickel. High chromium alloys, however, aren’t common. While chromium is added for it’s corrosion resistance, Cr is has a BCC crystal structure, which, while strong, isn’t as ductile as the FCC structure favored by Ni*.

That means the composition chosen by the poll, 42% Cr, 36% Fe, and 22% Ni, isn’t really going to be found in any commercial alloys. However, we can discuss the microstructure at that composition, which just barely stays in the Cr + γFeNi region of the phase diagram at that temperature. γFeNi, or the gamma phase, is a disordered solid solution FCC structure that forms the matrix of most Fe-Ni superalloys, though you typically need slightly more Ni than we have to stabilize the phase. The Cr phase here is also sometimes labeled as α’, and it is a Cr-rich BCC phase (where α would be the Fe-rich BCC phase).

* A note on the BCC vs FCC structure comparison. Astute readers will note that Fe also has a BCC structure at room temperature, lending strength but not ductility. However, at high temperatures, Fe transitions to the FCC structure, and this FCC structure can be maintained in the final product if the alloy is cooled fast enough. Take a look at the Fe-Ni phase diagram as compared to the Cr-Fe phase diagram linked above. Ni, as an FCC metal itself, helps stabilize Fe in the FCC structure at high temperatures. Cr, on the other hand, does not. So a high Cr alloy would lend itself to a BCC structure, with low ductility, which is why they are not prevalent.

Apollo (Brooch)

I have been meaning to post more of my artwork here, so here's one:

July, 2020 Gibeon meteorite, sterling silver, stainless steel wire 54mm x 48mm x 5mm (HxWxD | Measured at the thickest point.)

Iron meteorites are hunks of metal which amble through space for billions of years. Sometimes, against all odds, these extraterrestrial objects will find their way to our small planet, where they will sit for millions of years until one of our own discovers them through chance.

If you cut one of these meteorites in half you will reveal an intricate lattice-work structure of two different nickel-like alloys. They call these “Widmanstätten Patterns”, and they are unique to every meteorite. (Meteorites are sort of like deadly cosmic snowflakes if you think about it.) These patterns are the product of phenomenal cosmic forces acting upon the metal as it aimlessly drifts through space for a truly unimaginable amount of time.

This brooch features a fraction of one such meteorite in the center of it that I cut, shaped, polished, and then etched to reveal its unique pattern. The formal aspect of this brooch was heavily inspired by the Voyager 2 space probe, as well as fictional interstellar objects depicted in retro-futuristic illustrations from the 1970s and 80s. The silhouette was designed to direct attention to the extraterrestrial centerpiece and signify space exploration through iconic design elements.

In the end, everything is made of stardust; some of it is just a long way from home.
