Eric | I don't know Eric if extreme temperatures toward anything or anybody would "increase durability and wear life" or not. Just from some of the concepts you mentioned above like bonding energy, it would stand to reason that, being all metals have different molecule structures, that the led next to the brass and the brass next to any other material in the horn, all the horn materials would react differently in kind thus loosing it's bond in some way even undetectably at first and only showing itself over time. I would tend to think that if one froze a horn enough times that it would become "unfrozen" in some way. I'm not a metallurgist engineer. Liad |
