While speaking with a customer's metrology department, (which is why I ask in this forum section) their manager asked about the type of work we do... long story short, he's requesting we make some step blocks and gage blocks for him. He mentioned that it has to be machined without raising the surface temperature, the word 'crystal structure' came up though he was kind of speaking all over the place. He said A2 would be great, but NOT hardened. I told him that's obviously no big deal and we can keep it flooded with coolant while it's ground and see if that works for him, to which he said that'd be ideal.
However - what the heck is "acoustically stable" material? My google-fu appears weak because I cannot come up with material properties that clue me in. Anyone know?
