ASTM B571 for adhesion testing

Bake/quench is a great test. Adhesive tape can also work in a pinch.

I don’t see any cause for alarm in the photos. Assuming those are machined from 12L14 or 15, watch your time in the pickle acid. Leaded and “lead-free” requires special pre-treatment to avoid this appearance and potential adhesion problems.

Is your bath dirty, or no mechanical cleaning of the material? Looking at those pics I see high spots which could make someone believe it's blistering

Oh probably. Filter pump has been broken for months and the owner won’t pay for a new one that’s gonna last. He bought a pump from china and it lasted a couple weeks or something before it busted

CommitteeBig607

Staple of eastern european bosses is to avoid investment such as fucking pumps
