I am seriously thinking of commissioning a simple tungsten cube emblazoned with cuneiform style figures, set up on a stainless steel platform. For the legacy. For someone millions of years from now.

    According to a US Army study, Iron and Tungsten could create galvanic action, causing both materials to degrade if in contact.

    So at first glance, it seems like this combo wouldn’t last as long as it could with just Tungsten.
