300 series SS is mostly non magnetic. It can become slightly magnetic when cold worked. Using a NdBFe magnet, itās pretty easy to tell. The file is for the hardness. Most of the 400 series SS is hardened to a certain degree although you can get it in an annealed state but most donāt .curious... how does a magnet help you determine the chromium... all the ferrics should react to the magnet. At least you know it is not aluminum... You have a trick I am missing. ... oh... I bet you are looking at the metal coloration and the magnet.... I will get there eventually... My brain works slowly these days.
more of an issue with rust than temperature robustness
I love learning something new every day! So... is the 400 series more magnetic? Now I have to start looking into this. They both have Iron which is magnetic... but I am assuming (guessing is more accurate) that the alloys (obviously chromium and whatever else) are tying up the magnetic properties of the Iron???? I understand the really strong magnet to identify even a weak attraction.... Never worked with any one group of metals long enough to memorize (or even remember) most of their properties. I always had to refer to the charts.
Itās the nickel content in the 300 series (18-8)that gives it the non magnetic properties and the anti corrosive properties.
Thatās what this forum is all about. Youāve done more than your fair share regarding gearing. My sharing of gearing would make most gear designers cringe! My trick of mixing .4 module and 64 pitch gears so you can mate a metric motor to an ansi shaft is one nobody likes! But it works in my application.

Well you need to know Quinn... no way would he produce and sell a one size fits all. No way would he manufacture a product that works "sorta" well.
Dude wants to manufacture only the best of the best. When you buy his kit.... EVERYTHING is included all the way down to the gear oil, every nut every bolt. No lights in the dash and EVERYTHING works as it did when it came from the factory....
Could we maybe get a real metallurgical expert like broncbuster to chime in? Better safe than sorry.

So I watched some of the Broncbuster Videos and Posts. Why does he insist that "the other guys" (assuming this is 74Weld) are having problems with electronics. Is he just using dirty marketing tactics here to try to discredit his competition? If so, that is wild!

I have to watch how I put this so I don't get the "ban hammer" but..........very similar to something else that is going on right now.

Are you referring to the lawsuit he claims to be opening on 74Weld for patent infringement? (Allegedly)
If that's true, it is fVc<!ng wild that he's run his mouth enough for it to end up on a forum. Allegedly.
When I heard that I was pretty astounded. Not surprised that he would spout off like that to anyone pretending to be interested, but astounded that he thinks he has a case.
Keep in mind this obviously isnāt directly from him. Second hand from someone he allegedly told.
