>Barney,
No, I'm pretty sure Stellite hardness goes all the way to the
bone. Before my illustrious career as a Naval Officer, I was an
enlisted nuclear reactor operator. Some of the valves in the primary
cooling system are made of stellite, or as we called it,
stellite-haynes. It refers to a specific composition of steel, and
I think, chromium. If I hadn't brain-dumped all of my nuke
knowledge, I could probably tell you what the exact composition is
that has been trademarked as "Stellite".

WOW! So if we put in stellite valves, we can put a sticker on the car:
"Powered by Nuclear Reactor components"?
