Took what i was told was "617 inconel" down to the yard today, they grinded out a spot, hit it with the XRF gun, and.......... 80% carbon steel with percentages of common alloy-making metals (moly, chromium, etc.) ranging from 0.2-2.1 or so (cant remember them cuz i was so pissed, so dont ask). Need some opinions as to what this thing might be made of and sorry for the lack of info
(will try to get a picture up soon)
