Anybody got an Avesta 960 moly drop test?

[Johnnybravo]

As per the title. I recently lost a job on price. Not by a little bit,but by a huge margin. There is no way in hell I could have been that far out,price wise. Only conclusion I can draw is that the components they were supplied with are not the Stainless steel material stated on the drawing. Anybody able to check a component with a chemical test to confirm my suspicions? ( Don’t ask how, but I managed to get my hands on one of these components. It’s crap. But I want to make doubly sure before I say too much) If it is what I think it is,I will have a lot to say.....

So anybody with access to Avesta 960 drops?
Cheers
Johnny

Thanks Graham
Emailed them yesterday. I think Anupol do something similar as well

I thought you might have seen them,Johnny, but sometimes it's easy to miss something under your nose. At least it is for me...

buy some and scratch that itch

Is it much like these, droplet turns red?

Both use potassium thiocyanate (available on EvilBay) and a 9v battery.

Asking for a friend (me) who's curious about chemistry in the workshop.

Dave H. (the other one)

no battery required. No change for 304. Turns brown if 316

Go down a local scrap yard with an handheld xrf

...rare around these parts

Oh how I covert one of those XRF guns

I have a magic 'Analloy' tester for aluminium alloys that analyses the spectrum of a spark from an impinging graphite electrode - but it is limited in the metals that it covers

 

[Johnnybravo]

At £160 for 30mls of the stuff, they can stick it where the sun don’t shine....

Where are you based? A local materials testing company may be a cheaper option.

Down in East Sussex. I can send it to Smiths Metals for a full analysis for less than that. Granted,that bottle gives you 200 tests,but I only realistically need one at the moment.
