That control valve housing is made out of plastic. Should have been out of strong metal. Like Inconel.

It would never wear out.

That is what the armor for the CPU in the black boxes is made out of. They get packed with boric acid as an insulator. I gave my mom one as a pencil holder for her desk.

I worked with that metal all the time at Elliott. Gas turbines and steam turbines are full of it. Ever play around with Inconel 625? The machinists hated it with a passion. Said it was gummy the machine, and worn the bits quickly.
had to go super slow on the feed rates, and dump tons of coolant on the work piece.

yep, I machined that and all kinds of specialty alloys for the chairforce. The inconel was soft and super abrasive. It would gum up terribly on carbide. We bought a mill that could spin the cutters at 20K rpm and we used ceramic inserts. no coolant. It was like watching a volcano go off inside the machine. Molten inconel flung everywhere. It took cycle times down from 18 hours with solid carbide endmills to 3 hours each part. We had to replace the safety plexiglass after every batch as it there would be "chips" melting all the way through it.

Congrats on becoming a new home and pool owner! Best of luck to you.

Much appreciated. Thank you!
