(Deleted uncited and unsubstantiated trivia that I can't find any evidence for. Added info on the full composition of Bendalloy irl.)
 
== Trivia ==
* The real world alloy for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood%27s_metal Bendalloy] is 50% bismuth, 26.7% lead, 13.3% tin, and 10% cadmium. This is supported in world by it being called an alloy of Bismuth and Cadmium.{{book ref|mb4|10}}
* In an original mockup of the complete Table of Allomantic Metals, this metal was named cerrobend. However, the word cerrobend was a trademarked, commercial name for the [[wikipedia:Wood's metal|metal]], and so [[Brandon]] was forced to use bendalloy instead.{{cite|According to Chaos this apparently comes from a pre-official Allomantic table which may or may not be findable}}<!--just a note, bendalloy is also a commercial name, so not sure why that is okay and cerrobend isn't. see wikipedia:Wood's metal-->
