I actually spray Zirconium on piston’s and engine parts. It’s easy to work with when it’s coming out of a plasma gun

Will you be the appraiser on antique roadshow when these hard users bring in their Zirc torches to be valued ?
I don’t think things get misconstrued that often Hogo.
Also, when did you say the Zirconium pre-orders go up?

I did speak with the machinist about zirc back when the titanium run was done and brought it up to him again last week… so waiting on a quote from him. I don’t remember what he quoted a few years back as I think I passed out. He is also looking into… another metal for me. That I’ll keep to myself as I just don’t know the possibility of even getting it right now.

Tungsten or Tin Bronze would also cool to be realistic. Or some kind of Damascus...

How about nickel titanium? Aka “memory metal.”
Dropped your light? No worries! A splash of hot water will return its shape.

If we are going nuts..... Damascus might be cool depending on how the patterns showed up. Yep, we are dreaming, but that is fun, we all need a little fun nowadays.....

Jim Skelton and I set out to make you a uniquely styled custom flashlight with no fear that there's to much milling. What you got is a light that's had no detail left out or overlooked. from the head that lines up with the body milling to the machined clip and the forest of tritium slots. 18650...

That is a work of art............... impressive...... I am hoping for an impressive tool.... OK, any HDS besides Aluminum is venturing in a bit of bling/ jewelry.
I do enjoy the special metal HDS lights........ But at the heart it is still a HDS tool. They just look nice and feel better.

Monel alloy is just as good)) It is almost nothing to fear from chemical influences, and on top of it is covered with a thin layer of gold and then rhodium. Gold is needed so that rhodium does not have cracks in the surface.
And that nickel-titanium alloy - SM-100 (Nitinol)

rhodium? That blade has that in it?

I'm probably a little confused by everyone, pure metal can be coated with rhodium
The blade is already an alloy of titanium and nickel, quite difficult to process and expensive, this does not apply to rhodium in any way. This is the same material that has memory))

rhodium as in soft and more expensive then platinum?
