Posted February 20, 200817 yr Hello, Does anyone know what type of metal the BTL basket is, along with the exposed metal on the magnet? I would imagin Nick knows. My best guess would be aluminum but im not sure. also what type of material is used to paint the Basket?
February 20, 200817 yr Baskets are a type of Aluminum.Top plate, t-yuck, back plate is also a type of aluminum.The actual slugs are made from ferrite.Correct me if I'm wrong.
February 21, 200817 yr I would think the motor parts would be steel. . . They have to be steel since aluminum is non-magnetic. And probably low carbon steel at that.-Robert
