At heart, perfume and metal alloys are basically the same. At their basic heart, anyway. In both cases, experts mix together natural ingredients, and even the tiniest amounts of these ingredients can interact with other ingredients to create a totally new, enticing product. The composition professionals never leave their mixing to chance because they know all about the ingredients and their specific characteristics. Let's make an exaggerated comparison: You could say Thyssen Krupp VDM is an accomplished perfume maker in the world of metal-making. Here, virtuosos create alloys that have previously unknown characteristics - some ingredients are even taken in homeopathic doses. Customers are delighted by this knowledge. And there is a good reason for that: The material often enables the creation of a technical product that previously did not exist in this same form. The sparkplug with an even longer life span is one example of this work. Or a tank truck that can haul extremely aggressive materials. Or an exhaust gas catalytic converter with very low warm-up time and thus markedly higher effectiveness.
