In searching the TP2 document, Inconel is mentioned 11 times, but never the grade. Great technical writing, for sure.
All of the grades have substantial nickel of course, and a few are loaded with what are known as Mills' catalysts in addition to nickel. Inconel 617 would be especially active due to the high molybdenum and Inconel 625 is known to load and retain hydrogen at high temperature. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inconel http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=2722217 A common theme in Mills' papers is the synergy of using many catalysts instead of one or two. When carrying 3-phase current, there will be a part of each cycle where the wire attracts protons. All of the hydrogen could in principle be stored in the Inconel after it has been released from the carrier alloy where it is poised to densify. In any event, there seems to be no good reason to eliminate the Inconel as being active, since it contains lots of nickel - especially in the context of SPP. The main way that SPP are known to form is on the interface of a metal and ceramic in the presence of a light source and an electric field, which would be the resistance wire itself. Sounds like the ideal setup for SPP, no? Would SPP alone supply excess heat? Dunno. That has apparently never been considered. Alternatively would SPP catalyze the formation of f/H or DDL? Probably. If it were known that SPP alone produced excess heat when the reactor was operated above 500C, (where IR light starts to be produced at sufficient wavelength) that would be a reason that one would not want to calibrate above this temperature, as it would reveal too much. But it would not surprise anyone who has followed both LENR and Mills, and assuming that excess heat will be validated, if the Mills camp picks up on the Inconel wires - to claim that this is hydrino tech.
