Did you back purge?
Yeah the oxides are incredibly tenacious. It has to be purged, even if not full penNo, and it wasnt full penetration 90-95%. I did expect it to break but not as easily. It has crystalline appearance
Grade 1 or grade 2Is there a preferred ‘go to’ rod to use, if material is unknown
Grade 1 or grade 2
I’m not an expert on the stuff but it looks too heavy on the oxidation around the outsideMaybe not
