Boy, you ain't kidding.
Briefly, I chose rhenium because of it's unique properties. It's the only metal that is malleable from absolute zero, to it's melting point, which is quite high. Around 5200F!
The platinum group, can contribute to simple steel, above and beyond current paradigms.
Just like anything, all it takes is money...
