Interestingly the supplier doesn't report the Ge content in the assay they do for us. I'll follow that up.

It is believed by our industry that SN100C suffers from nickel depletion (which necessitates adding nickel back into the alloy). The nickel comes at .05%. When it reaches .03%, it fails to function as a grain refiner. Also, the germanium is supposed to deplete, necessitating adding germanium back into the alloy. Is anybody aware of the specific studies that reference the nickel and germanium depletion? Thanks muchly for your input.
