Cheers Chris, pm back.

Moutere, yes the method is the same but on a different machine. It is really useful for full auto since it maintains its strength well into 650c range. It is about twice as heavy as Ti and a bit heavier than SS. When a can gets very hot you have to design for a lower yield strength of the red hot material. With inco, that yield is still quite strong and subsequently you can thin out some areas of the can based on the better yield. The can will still be heavier than a ti can, but will stand up to far more abuse. Ti works well up to semi auto temperatures.

It really isn't sintering, though. It was called sintering in the beginning because it uses the same powdered material. The process is far different. It is more accurate to call it selective laser melting which effectively "welds" the entire can into a single piece. Sintering is more of a mold, heat and pressure process.
