Interesting and gives me confidence in my first choice of krabs.
One observation that I am sure the metalagists with more knowledge than me will be able to answer.......... in the quenching process the krabs were racked up. The ones on the outside will receive a more rapid cooling than the ones on the inside. Does this make a difference? Or is the rate of coolong sufficeint for them all?
We didnt see any evidence of FEA? Looking at the actual krabs I presume FEA has been used. If not they are designed by a person who understands effecient structures.........
