well, since thesis is finishing up this week, i'll start to do some more in-depth analysis.... first thing i think is to confirm the coating composition.

first will be X-ray diffraction. that should tell if it is alumina or any other kind of ceramic.

if that doesn't resolve it, i will then try RAMAN spectroscopy, and look at the bond energies, that should sort it out if it is a polymer (it is vaguely possible)

as for the forged.. they LOOK like forged. i have been chatting with some professors abotu it, and they suggest they might have been "semi-solid formed" or "Squeeze cast", which basically means the metal is pushed in under pressure in a mushy state.. this would have been a fairly advanced process for the late 80's and i have a stack of articles on it..

either way, we will get to the bottom of it.

what we DO know, is that there are flow-lines reminiscent of forging, and that there is a 15micron layer.

i'll get back to y'all in two weeks Wink

Cya, Stewart

Smuggla huh? hmmm, i was off air when that debacle happened...
