Re: The hardest possible substance known to man?
Nuclear reactors use hafnium-free Zircaloys. Can't have a neutron sponge in there. Stainless steels require oxygen to form their protective mixed oxide coatings. Anaerobic stainless can pit corrode into Swiss cheese. The fabulous screw-up with 316SS is to use it as a drip tray when diddling with hydrazine. Molybdenum is a specific hydrazine decomposition catalyst.
Inconel 686 is a terrible thing to slip analytical. Nothing in a wet lab touches it - and it doesn't make a difference what kind of lab it is. Emission spectroscopy to have a chance: - arc, spark, laser blast, x-ray fluorescence.
