If incoherence could melt, you would be standing in a pool of aluminum.

Melting. schmeltimg.

Want to quit your job? Slop some mercury paste on a section of the crank and wait. The mercury will eat away the aluminum, make it spongey and weak, and will prevent a protective aluminum oxide layer from forming. Eventually, the crank will just break while in use.

Allied saboteurs used to do this on German planesin WW-II. They'd wipe mercury-containing paste on wings and landing gear, and the thing would eventually break off.

Quite neat! The damage wasn't readily visible until it was too late.

Cheers! DZ
