With a bit more information on the metallurgy some reasonable experimental copies could be made for testing.

Dear Richard,
Salaams!

Of course you're welcome to this discussion. You'll never be too late, I hope. But first, I gotta understand the meaning of metallographic first! I'll check it out very soon!

Welcome to the discussions, Ric!

As ever,
