It is called MA 956.
    Since the rotary exhaust temperatures are up around
    1800 F it will be needed. One can always cool the exhaust
    before it goes to the turbine but that implies a loss
    of recovered energy.

Ok, that was an excellent tease, what are the characteristics of the alloy? The weight savings? Is this alloy better than beryllium/aluminium? How easy is it to machine? Cost?

I forgot the attachment. The message before this one will have it

If not, I attached it here again and a pdf. BeAl is only good to 700F.
The density is less than steel.

I have no answers to the rest of the questions yet.
