They use tungsten coatings in rocket nozzles. This could just be him trying to shuffle money around again.

No it isn't, it's just him making up stupid lies for no reason, like when he said you could use a Tesla as a boat

Denting a tungsten carbide coating on a stainless steel panel that's flat and not outwardly concave?

And it's done by ill-fitting-panel-and-fiery-battery-electric-child-runner-over car company Tesla?

The coating will be sub 10 microns, of course. The tungsten confetti explosion when it autodrives into the side of a white semi trailer will be spectacular

He's dumb and probably a rapist. He has to do science man reactions to maintain his relevance and distract from those other things. He's living the life. Sagan wrote books and had influence. NDT is just going whoa (good way) whoa (bad way) whoa (confusion). I listened to his pod during lockdown and it was boring af.

I would say a titanium nitride coating would be more reasonable seeing as it's already a pretty common industrial process and the hardness is about the same
