Hi ,
recently I have been involved in building some high alloy vessels and want to share small valuable information ,we used to weld and fix parts made of 316 SS to our guns cause of its corrosion resistance mainly but its soft compared to other alloy so usually we use 2.5 mm to 4 mm wires /plate to maintain the strength ,here is the new idea if u use a duplex SS or nickel alloy usually the strength is more by 1.5 time ,for 3 mm line anchor you can use 1.5 mm duplex stainless with same strength also for line guide wire u can use 1.5 mm nickel wire without worried it ll bend easily , handle frame can be reduced to 1.8 mm thick plate with same strength of 2.7 mm ,this not new information I know for experienced guys here but I shared it everyone .
