        I mean, recently someone found the mother of all software vulnerability attacks because their login took half a second longer than it should. Steel being 2.5x heavier than usual sounds like an easy spot compared to that.

      Tungsten carbide and gold are about the same density. Tungsten carbide is about 3 times as dense as iron/steel. Steel is about 3 times as dense as aluminum.

      If you’re expecting a steel part and come across a gold (or carbide) one, you’ll know it immediately, just as you’d know a steel part from an aluminum one.
