Erik,

Would you tell me what the chemistry of 60Ni20 is, what it's used for and where you got it, please?

Erik,

Would you tell me what the chemistry of 60Ni20 is, what it's used for and where you got it, please?

Mike

Sorry I missed your question.
It has .6% carbon and almost twice as much nickel as 75ni8 wich is the european version of 15n20. I do not remember the chemistry exactly but that's about it.It is available from Achim Wirz who is a damascus smith and steel supplier from Germany. He designed the steel and had it made in a steel factory. It welds very easy.

I can get you his email if you want.

Erik,

No you didn't... just took a while... =]

Thanks for the offer of Achim's e-mail address. I'd like to have it but I don't want you going out of your way on this.

Mike
