Anyone experienced with tungsten-boats? ' Yep; go with the long-life versions - such a hassle to replace a blown hull. But you should seriously consider platinum. This is also good for high-temperatures and looks so much better. Brian W I've priced Tungsten foil before, too expensive. Tantalum is cheaper and just as dense. I dont think a permit is required for depleted U cuz I once had a brick of it on my desk, not impressive, just heavy. Osmium is a possibility and the densest. Iridium would be very good due to its non-corrosive properties. |
