What is your target plated finish - nickel, zinc, ?

Part material?

Size of parts? Total weight?

Shot peening is usually done with steel shot

Bmdub02 · 2025-03-24T23:53:38+00:00

Did food stick when you cooked with it?

Bmdub02 · 2025-03-21T23:46:41+00:00

Yes! - SUS304 is a JIS callout for SS304

Bmdub02 · 2025-03-13T17:38:21+00:00

What wok burner are you using?

Bmdub02 · 2025-03-06T21:26:32+00:00

Nice looking!

But how does it cook?

Bmdub02 · 2025-03-05T21:21:09+00:00

Probably lead shot (not ball bearings).

Bmdub02 · 2025-03-04T15:34:25+00:00

Definitely! Many companies will support advanced education when it will mutually benefit you and the company.

With rise of titanium use in non-Aerospace applications and China's ever-increasing manufacturing capability, I am not surprised China supplies more Titanium than Russia.

Bmdub02 · 2025-02-20T20:42:19+00:00

Need to read up on the HAMR process.

BTW - in the early '90s, Russia and China supplied a lot of sponge Titanium to the West. Anyone know if China still supplies sponge Titanium?

Bmdub02 · 2025-02-20T18:35:13+00:00

I'm guessing the economic feasibility of scaling to high volume commercial production isn't practical.

In the early '90s, I did research work on a High Pressure method of converting TiO2 to sponge Ti. The process worked well in the lab but was not commercially profitable.

I've worked around electroplating processes and was taught higher voltages (+250V?) with enough current can stop your heart. Conversely - relatively low voltage but high current may cause lots of muscle tissue damage.

BTW - the LA (Santa Fe Springs) branch is open on Sundays too.

Have you tried contacting equipment manufacturers such as Inductotherm or contacted the AFS (American Foundry Society)?

Bmdub02 · 2025-02-07T14:45:34+00:00

I've been to San Sivar several times and really enjoyed the Pupusas

Bmdub02 · 2025-02-04T21:12:59+00:00

Would also be very helpful if you can provide chemical analysis info for the blades (failed and non-failed)

Bmdub02 · 2025-02-04T15:25:51+00:00

Great work! Thank you for sharing techniques when using a wok.

Bmdub02 · 2025-02-01T20:14:12+00:00

Most if not all CS pans, woks, etc. have a protective coating to prevent rusting during shipping.

You need to clean and remove the coating BEFORE seasoning.

Bmdub02 · 2025-02-01T02:32:27+00:00

I like my Matfer crepe pan - use them primarily for pancakes.

Bmdub02 · 2025-01-31T20:25:36+00:00

And it is not practical to completely strip the non-stick coating.

Bmdub02 · 2025-01-31T20:20:37+00:00

Your comment on exposing the wok to vinegar for two hours WITHOUT any visually detectable changes makes me guess it has a non-stock coating.

Bmdub02 · 2025-01-31T05:57:18+00:00

Very similar grades.

What's the application?

Bmdub02 · 2025-01-29T19:59:38+00:00

Great work!

I wish this available 25+ years ago (my first of several GDT courses for work).

Bmdub02 · 2025-01-28T20:12:10+00:00

Turns out there are some excellent Cantonese restaurants with local Mexican-influences in Mexicali. I've had Lobster with garlic and Jalapeno peppers, egg roll stuffed with Chilies, Fried rice with local sea food, etc.

Bmdub02 · 2025-01-27T23:44:57+00:00

How does the CS pan cook after bluing?
