[DML] FWD: Asbestos vs stainless steel heatshields

[bettycat@xxxx (Dirk Wacker)]

Stian,
you are right. "Normal" stainless steel like our SS-304 will work as a catalyst when used as a heatshield. You need a special treated stainless steel, developed and used for planes and spacecrafts. This material will fullfill your wish of "absorbing and disappearing" the heat.
For further information have a look at "www.de-lorean-steel-products.purespace.de"
