An interesting report from *1966*: http://stinet.dtic.mil/oai/oai?&verb=getRecord&metadataPrefix=html&identifier =AD0803703 "VACUUM-DEGASSED STEELS FROM THE CONSUMER'S VIEWPOINT Numerous industrial users were asked for their appraisal of vacuum-degassed steel. Their responses regarding the merits of this vacuum treatment were varied. ... Unfortunately, many of the users could not give a meaningful evaluation because they knew that frequently their suppliers filled orders with vacuum-degassed steels even though such treatment was not specified." Sounds like cost wasn't a deal breaker even in 1966. dude, you are /so/ freakin' twisted. if they're using it for re-bar, you can be damned sure they're _not_ going to notice the difference - other than wasting money of course. if they're using it for elevator rope wire, you can be sure they will - and it's money well spent. You missed the point (deliberately?). Cost wasn't an issue in 1966. eh??????????????????? possibly the most bizarre statement i've ever seen. For spokes, not rebar. and you've just contradicted yourself on dates. How's that? How's that, again? |
