As for "some jackass that lies about using a magnet" - just which one of the three different posters that tested your claim and found it to be untrue do you mean? amazing - a bunch of people can make posts with comments to the corroborative, yet you [apparently] read them as the negative. you're either stupid [and not very accomplished at deceit] or delusional. |

I have. 12 wheels wasn't large enough? but how many different brands of spoke? and what was their butting method? drawn or hammered will have the martensitic transition. ground spokes won't have that. Drawing is not just used to form the butts - it is the usual method of forming wire of all kinds; in sucessive stages from bar to wire as thin as that iuse in cycle spokes. If drawing (a form of cold-working) has an effect of the magnetic properties of stainless steel, it should make little difference whether the cold-working stops with a straight-guage-spoke or continues to a butted one. oh, how convenient! just miss out the facts about the heat treatments used between the drawing stages, then you have a delusion! or just call it ignorance. either work! And has been pointed out to you, those spokes you claim to be ground are no longer (nor have been form some years); and the brands measured by the posters on this newsgroup include a great many spokes not of that brand at all. so they don't exist then. glad we cleared that up! I think this is yet another of the classic "jim beam" attempts to avoid being yet again embarrassed, consisting of the following stages: "(2) Assert statement is correct when contrary facts are pointed out. (3) Impugn the intelligence of those people who point out facts contrary to his assertions. (4) Start warping claims to look less wrong as evidence mounts against." Of course, if "jim beam" doesn't want people to point out that what he posts is wrong, the solution is simple. Stop posting stuff that's wrong. hey dude, how does this life of delusion impact your ability to earn a living? how do co-workers treat you when you they find they can't rely on a single ****ing word you say? |

One of the wheels had galvanized spokes and of course the magnet was strongly attracted to those. A useful control. Of the remaining 12 wheels with stainless spokes, the kitchen magnet was very weakly attracted to 2, and not at all to the remaining 10. The 2 that were slightly magnetic both had DT 2.0/1.8mm butted spokes. However, I also tried other wheels with DT butted and non-butted spokes and found almost no attraction. A few wheels with Asahi and Wheelsmith stainless spokes had no attraction. Wheelsmith butted spokes have an obvious transition diameter where the swaging takes effect and I tested that part to see if the cold working had rendered them ferromagnetic at that particular spot. Nope. I then went back with a very strong magnet removed from a hard drive, and confirmed that two wheels with DT spokes were a little magnetic, the rest of the DT spokes were slightly magnetic, and the Asahi/Wheelsmith spokes weren't magnetic at all. For comparison, I tested some other household goods. Most stainless pans and my old film developing tanks are non- or very weakly ferromagnetic. The only stainless items I found to be strongly ferromagnetic were some kitchen utensils, silverware, and knives, plus a climbing implement. All of which confirms that cycle spokes are not, in the main, martensitic, even when cold-worked - at best a few were found to be "a little" or "slightly" magnetic, indicating little change from austenitic steel. Which of course means that "jim beams"s claim that if you put stainless spokes in a kitchen oven they will come out austenitic is sort of correct - because they were austenitic to begin with. Hey ho. And we should distinguish the effects of different levels of applied heat. It is one thing to stick a spoke in boiling oil, or to make it redhot and quench it in cold oil, and quite another to harden paint on a spoke in an oven at a low temperature. This reflects one of the main areas of low credibility when dealing with the anonymous "jim beam", that, like too many inexperienced people who merely quote textbooks, he has an on-off switch, that he insists every case is always either- or, and that thus he altogether misses out on the subtleties of materials and their applications. Andre Jute It is always in the subtleties of engineering that the beauty resides andre, you're just a pig-ignorant poseur. corn oil and a candle blackens spokes. no weakening effect. |

Which is, in round figures, "close to a thousand". Have you been taking math lessons from Bill Sornson? |
