* 316L stainless steel has 18% chromium and 65% iron more or less. If the process was a mechanical based sputtering process then 2.7 % chromium contamination should have been found in the ash and this chromium would have still been alloyed with the iron. What could have purified the chromium from the iron? Nothing. It is physically impossible. I believe he is disingenuous, as you say. Did you see the spectrograms on the patent application? Same thing - no chromium. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg44475.html Jones
