[MW:6385] Re: Copper Contamination Cracking in Austenitic Stainless Steel Welds

Dear Mr. Raghuram,

This is a very interesting article you send about the use of cupro-
nickel filler metal in 316 material but I have one question, do you
have it available with pictures of higher quality as well?
There are a lot of details lost by bringing documents properties down
to minimize the documents size. If this is available could you send it
to my personal e-mail address (only possible when the size is smaller
than 20 MB)? I performed failure analyses in the past and always
interested in reports with reference to such.

Thank you in advance.
