Re: WHATARETHEY?
Hi Jim
Got the picture...
I would guess some type of thorium alloy [duh], maybe used in aircraft
applications [guess], though I have not seen them before. The percentage
seems ok, very similar to weld rods. Do you have a specific
gravity/density? You could make a guess on the alloy based on that (Mo,
Al, Fe, Ti, Steel, wood.... ) . Maybe Bill Kolb
(William.Kolb@faa.dot.gov) or Paul Frame (FRAMEP@ORAU.GOV) will have a
better idea...
btw... its not a good idea to send MIME type or attached files to Radsafe
(or other newsgroups). Be better to put it on a server somewhere, and
have interested folks "visit" it... with WWW browsers and all. An
encoded file like that is a lot of load for the server to take, sending
out 3,000 to the list.
