This video is a compilation of three internal communications shared with Niagara Specialty Metals, regarding quality issues with our rolling of Cruforge V material that we had custom produced. No determination was ever shared with us regarding the nature of the issue and it was the position of Niagara Specialty Metals that their work was within specification. The blanks moved too much from their original profile in irregular ways and after some experimentation, we were ultimately unable to correct the situation in any way that made financial sense for us. We are releasing these memos now in the spirit of full transparency and to spread awareness of what can potentially happen with these materials.
