Manufacture of controlled rate dissolving materials

This invention describes how to create metal objects that dissolve at a specific, controlled rate. It involves mixing tiny, insoluble particles into a base metal like magnesium, zinc, or aluminum. These particles are strategically placed within the metal's internal structure to influence how quickly it corrodes, and the final object can be strengthened through processes like extrusion.

Why it matters: Advances in computational materials science and precise control over submicron particle dispersion in molten metals make designing and manufacturing these complex dissolving structures more predictable and achievable than in 2016.

Status: In forceA lapse was cured by a late fee and protection was reinstated.
How hard to build: SpecializedMetallurgy, submicron particle dispersion, casting/extrusion
