Alacrite

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

the ~only~ reference on the entire page is a 404, there are no google results for "alacrite", certainly nothing reliable - i've got Machinery's Handbook and some AWS standards here and some other books and none of them mention anything like this... and the article is literally eight words with as little detail as possible.

Also: Found an excellent reference, looks like there are quite a few alternate names for it http://www.carlier.cc/fiche/25.htm ZigSaw 12:38, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I've expanded the article and added a couple of references to show notability, though it is still very short. Google Books and Google Scholar show plenty of mentions in the scientific and technical literature. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 21:06, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Its existence has been proven and this is the kind of thing encyclopaedias are made of! We could do with a metal expert to give us some textbook citations. Any volunteers...? :-) ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 22:30, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
