This works extremely well actually. Just tried it.
But in my case, the carbonization is actually quite serious, and that spot is more of a little pit now. This was in spite of me applying deoxit gold quite frequently. My plan is to sand it slightly with the 5000 grit sandpaper to smoothen it out.
After that, I think for best practice, don't be lazy like me and wait until there's "issues" before cleaning the positive contact. Be semi-diligent about it and a soft white eraser will suffice.
I've also got down to paying 40 bucks to get no-ox-id shipped to Singapore. I'm hoping that it reduces the amount of maintenance I need to perform on my positive contact. I personally don't run super low builds. In fact I've gone up from 0.4 ohms to 0.5 ohms on my cc.
Oh why the hell did I think it was a good idea to take up a job in Singapore. Face palm

Goodness. Hopefully you got a bunch of other stuff coming in that same box to make the $40 a little more worthwhile...
Too quiet in here today, and this page has no pictures (that aren't quoted from a previous page).
Yeah,...I need to figure out my next move.....
I'll be neck deep in copper for the next few weeks, and while that's goin' on, I'd like to do that run of 7068... Right now I only have one 7075 cap and body sitting on the shelf, and I'm down to 8 brassies...
Of course, there's the spare parts I told folks I'd make, once I got caught up, as well...
Not too sure when any prototyping is gonna be feasible... I'm sure it'll happen, though...

Ok, but what does that mean? Wouldn't an ss cc be almost 3x heavier than the Al?
I don't know much about metal... I love the idea of no maintenance, and stronger is fine, too. The thing about titanium is how dang light it is... for me, anyway.
Also, still very much in love
and enjoying a tasty beverage. My two favorite things!!Yes, but marginally lighter than brass or copper.
Density in grams per cubic centimeter (and ratio to aluminum):
Aluminum: 2.7
Titanium: 4.5 (1.6x)
Stainless Steel: 7.5 - 8.0 (~2.9x)
Brass: 8.4 - 8.5 (3.1x)
Copper: 9.0 (3.3x)
Silver: 10.5 (3.9x)
"Titanium is not a good conductor of electricity. If the conductivity of copper is considered to be 100%, titanium would have a conductivity of 3.1%. From this it follows that titanium would not be used where good conductivity is a prime factor. For comparison, stainless steel has a conductivity of 3.5% and aluminum has a conductivity of 30%."
If the difference in conductivity of SS and Titanium boils down to .4% difference...
Titanium all day....
Also,I would think the very short distance electricity has to travel in our mods would be a factor as well....

Meaning material A may be 1.5 times as strong by weight as material B. But the same weight, material A may take up 3.5 times the volume as material B.
This means with the same dimensions, material B would be 2.33 times the strength at the expense of 3.5 times the weight of material A.
I don't know exact numbers off hand, and I'm not looking up a dozen different compounds to check. But I am confident steel is stronger than aluminum and titanium.
SS, for me, would make for a CC I could take everywhere, immediately. Something I'd be proud to call a deadly weapon of defense whenever not being questioned by the police.
Your priorities may differ.

I've said this before: The body of the mod has a very high cross-sectional area and therefore the conductivity of the material it's made from isn't very important. What's critical are the contact points -- and that includes the interface between the main body and the top-cap.
What atty is that?Too quiet in here today, and this page has no pictures (that aren't quoted from a previous page).

Yay! Despite what the rather erratic tracking was telling me, the slightly more sinuous brass sibling has arrived!!!
I love the feel of the extra weight in my hand. Rushed picture - I'm "working".

Looks like a Seecamp hiding in that pocket holsterToo quiet in here today, and this page has no pictures (that aren't quoted from a previous page).
One with some mighty nice grips to boot!
