You’re correct and it’s yet to be shown if the alloy will work as hoped. My post was only to help show it’s not a misleading title.

It may not ever work properly as a rare earth metal replacement but nothing about the title promises that. Just that it could and it’s being worked on. Something to be hopeful for but that’s all for now.
