Asked how that can be used in real life, Querques said, "To have that sort of knowledge in your head and apply it to 4 job like welding airplane parts, youll know what metals can be welded. If it can't be applied to real life, why bother?" Querques said he would like to be able to research a product, patent it and then see it work in the field. "There's got to be millions of different alloys of every single metal. For instance, for carbon steel -- there's like a thousand different alloys that could be used to weld them together. So -- phew. If I could find out all if the different alloying properties off the metals and out them together in one strong com- pilation, then that could be used as a re4ference point for almost anything -- the basis of the metallurgy industry," Querques said.
