processing of Ti foil in SNF...

[Mary Tang]

Hi Robert --


wbsolvent for Acetone/IPA of Ti foils is no problem.   I may have missed 
something in the email exchange, but was wondering whether it might be 
better to anneal in fga2 (gold contaminated) than in tylan4 -- the 
temperature control in this range is better and the forming gas ambient 
might have less oxygen.
