[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1801077, member: 93138"] I've not looked, do the mfg's of CM & SS actions post strength testing results for their designs in those materials? Like the discussion about using 17-4PH for barrels, it's all in knowing what the metal needs to be able to work with it effectively. Proper Speeds, Feeds, Depths of Cut, and a correct for the metal coolant/cutting fluid are required. Miss on any of these variables and you're going to hate working with that metal. A very long time ago Merlin bicycles, who made Ti bicycle frames nearly exclusively, had posted a white paper about Ti's interactions with various chemicals. One of the major no-no's is to use chlorine based solvents, like most brake cleaners, on titanium. It penetrates the metal and forms a titanium-chloride salt *inside* the metal. You can not see it, but the resulting material is literally mush. I had saved the paper, but in the intervening 5 or 6 HD replacements it has been lost. I have in the past collaborated the article independently, so should someone be interested enough to research it I'm sure that it can be done again. [/QUOTE]
