![]() Crank up the heat, and it only boils faster.I had a Bremmer-Tully console with a pair of push-pull 45's in it once that had serious pot metal disease with the tuning capacitor frame. Unless it is under pressure, you can't elevate water over that temperature. For the boiling water temperature, it was 212 degrees F or 100 degrees C. ![]() Quote:Originally posted by Curt Reed:Dennis- interesting thread. Many mis-shapened pieces on old cars I straightened this way. Relieves stresses and helps to avoid cracking when attempting to reshape it. Really hot/ boiling, until the piece is up to the temperature of the water. One tip I learned about straightening warped die-castings: Insert in boiling water. That old urban legend of throwing stuff in a pot and creating die-cast materials is just that.Legend. ![]() Good machinability uses one formulation, good casting-ability uses another. This can vary with the purpose of performance.and cost. How much or how little corrosion depends largely on what percentage of various materials or metals go into the mix. Metallurgists actually describe a "service life" for it. A metal "born to die," depending much on exact formulation. As Alan Douglas aptly called it: Intergranular corrosion.
