Lynn,

   Ken Welter reported accelerated slot wear after machining his rotors

for 3 mm seals.......Granted Ken is pulling about 300 hp for takeoff using

nitrus oxide........It was mentioned that the hardened layer at the rotor

tips was lost due to grinding for the 3mm seals........Do you  know what

hardening process is used (induction, etc) and whether it could be

restored........Your take on this please Lynn or anyone !!
