:lol:
If ya finish THAT by tomorrow, I've both A.S.T.M. and S.A.E. tomes here I'll loan ya, Vince. Both are multiple volumes, but shipping's on your *nickel*. :smirk:
...funny we don't have a coin called: "chrome", innit?
Basic info is:
1) If ya hit it with a grinder and it sparks, it ain't "Stainless".
2) If ya put a magnet to it and it attracts, it ain't "Stainless".
HTH!
