[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1948576, member: 113501"] I have played with several alloys too. You can't harden it enough to make a blade unless you add carbide which is why I want to try SLS with a Ti/TiC powder mix. Beyond hardness, it has very poor thermal conductivity which means heat that you put in to the bore is going to stay in the bore until you burn up the rifling and your barrel looks like the inside of a 150 year old San Francisco sewer pipe.
