I don't know how well it is known (since the Provo meeting info is a bit hard
to get)-But the material for Ti materials that was used the first few years was
with Sn V and wasthe kind used for subs to avoid cracking.Small cracks may be
good but big ones are definitely not. However, Pd and its alloys is likely the
best place to start. Also, the information I got was that the boil off of F and
P contained Ce.You may want to try to track that down. I think Mike did an
analysis at one time. Dennis
