Crap in your eye ....

at least the stainless is non magnetic, so no probs with the MRI

 

 

Unfortunately not due to the very high magnetic power sources even non magnetic metals can behave weirdly so as stainless is a mix of iron and various other metals even non magnetic I would still if at all possible warn them if I were to be undergoing an MRI scan like I said earlier you only get one pair of eyes and I would like to keep it that way

I thought EN58J ( non magnetic ) contained no Iron ?

300 series which is one of the common non mag stainless alloy series are steel alloys there for contain iron and as 304 and 316 are the most common grades used commonly I won't take the chance I think there is a big clue in the words stainless STEEL lol

Whether it affects the magnetic properties or not, even Subby's Chrome-Nickel-molybdenum alloy still has about 70% iron in it.

En58J spec seems to fall right in the middle of 316 and 320.

 

320 is 17 Cr, 12 Ni, 2.5 Mo plus a trace of Ti balance is Fe

Got carb cleaner in my eye at the weekend, not much but still not a good idea!! Even if you think I won't bother to wear glasses, ignore yourself and do!

Ok yep clue steel therefor ferrous . Milled and turned alot of EN58J . Machines well . EN57J which is magnetic was pants to machine . Used Monnel metal , inconell , titanium and other wirdos in my time . All been in my eyes some time or other !

Yup - a good blast down the H or L screw hole can have a strong spurt coming out of the carb at any sort of angle, been there and done that - best wear safety specs.

People please wear appropiate PPE. I've had various (non serious) eye injuries, foreign bodies, saw dust grit etc over the years and it is quite painful and stressful. I now tend to wear safety specs along with my chainsaw helmet visor when cross cutting, climbing, feeding a chipper etc. I wear safety specs if i'm out in the garage painting wood, doing DIY or tinkering with a saw etc. Ever tried to walk across the top of a previously topped conifer hedge/tight stand of trees with all those sharp small diameter twigs/branches/pegs ready to poke yer eye out shud you slip and fall off a foot hold ? It something i take seriously as my wife lost 85% of the vision in one of her eyes after a simple garden accident about 7 years ago. Basically it was a large shrub with long thorny spikes on it, it caught/snagged in my jumper as i pushed past it and released under tension and smacked her in the face. The eye specialists had their work cut out for them as they don't see many serious eye injuries due to increased H&S and wearing of facial PPE but after 4 bouts of surgery her eye is nigh on useless. Please be careful out there.
