Hi!
I found a description of an alloy with newly discovered properties.
It makes its own lubricant, so it is virtually impossible to wear out.
90 percent platinum and 10 percent gold.

Superalloy with links and sources

There aren't much about its structural strength or such , but as a layer on wearable parts its interesting, and evenmore so for us, when it is time to recycle stuff :)
 
Hehe.
I agree, but it is interesting to see how science finds new ways, applications and properties of even known processes and products.

Here the friction was overcome by producing a diamond like substance from the "pollution" in the air, the Platinum mignt play a role here.

Interesting anyway :)
