@AlexSmith what testing are you using for this new batch to prove they are solid? I don't want everyones hopes to get high and have another batch fail (as everyones have before)
How will gavimetric analysis help you at all? I may be wrong on this but after look its up its used to weigh the particulates in water... I know someone who had magnets and was testing them and in water they were fine for a very long time, but a drop of soap to get rid of that surface tension and all of them failed after that. I might be way off base in saying that gavimetric analysis won't be a suitable test. Please correct me if I am wrong.
So you are going for the visual look? I don't think you would be able to weigh the amount of nickel in such a small amount. and won't surface tension still inhibit the very tiny pin holes from showing up? The paper you linked talks about a sample and measuring the nickel in the sample, but a sample isn't attempting to fill all of the hole so you don't need to worry about that surface tension in that application.
yes, I will be using the same method @cassox developed, using dimethylglyoxime as a nickel catalyst and ammonia to speed the process up. This is generally known as a gravimetric test for nickel detection.
@ChrisBot, sure. Magnets will be sold under my company name Loop9 Technologies, and will be slated for release early November with possibility of an earlier beta.
@AlexSmith I sent a message about being added to this list, but I'm not sure how often the messaging system is used here, so I just wanted to post here saying that I'd like to be added to this list.
