[QUOTE="RobC, post: 1067334, member: 687"] It is not fair to compare jet engines to firearms. Jet engines operate at consistent temps and pressures whereas firearms have pressure and temp spikes that would destroy any jet engine. Furthermore, jet engines do not typically operate with solid particles like gun powder being blasted through at extreme speeds. Inconel is another alloy used extensively in the hot section of jet engines. It is also used in the baffles of my 5.56 suppressors. Having seen both my blast baffle and the hot section of our engines, I can tell you that my suppressor lives the harder life by far. My blast baffles look like the surface of the moon and are eroding nicely. Our compressors look great on the other hand. I'd be happy to post pictures of my Inconel blast baffles if you don't buy the idea of erosion though. As for the corrosion, Smith coats the Ti and Scandium parts with a coating that is supposed to add some measure of protection from stretching and flame cutting. That coating is what they are trying to keep you from damaging with the solvents. Rob [/QUOTE]
