[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1039933, member: 13833"] I know this must have come up at some time, but I have never seen anything published on it. Does anyone have any hard data as to whether or not there is an advantage of one over the other? It would stand to reason, IMO, that a different hardness of metal with different abrasive characteristics, would cause different pressures, in turn causing different velocities. This would seem to bear up with people, including myself, experiencing increased velocities with melonite treatment, although that might require a whole different study. i.e. Is the increase due to more pressure from the same load, or less resistance from the surface? I would like to think less resistance but since I don't have any way to measure pressure that closely, I am not sure? I would also be curious as to whether or not meloniting has different affects (velocity wise) between Stainless and Chrome moly? Food for thought!.....Rich [/QUOTE]
