[QUOTE="rancilio, post: 850102, member: 22888"] I am not disagreeing at all. Your references are legit as is your experience. Properties get complicated. Do manufacturers always optimize their selection of metals? In their own way, I hope so. But they must consider price, ease of working the metal, availability, as well as how the metal properties meet the needs of the application, and I suspect many more considerations. Understanding the units of measurment and what the units mean is important when discussing the fact that Ti is 1/3 of 304. That may be misleading while still factual. 1/3 sounds like a lot. What does it mean in terms of time it takes my suppressor to cool enough to remove? We could throw down some numbers and calculate that but way too many variables (internals, wall thickness, how much carbon buildup, etc) would come into play to get much closer than a good estimate. How about this, suppressors are good, and a good suppressor is better! [/QUOTE]
