Part 4/7:
Throughout the investigation, Bob conducts a detailed analysis of the sample materials and begins to discern patterns in their composition. Elements such as nickel, iron, aluminum, and traces of carbon begin to emerge as significant components of the internal structures. Notably, he identifies higher concentrations of nickel in the center of the samples and reflects on how that might link back to the original stainless steel in the generator.
Further probing leads him to uncover additional chemical nuances, such as the presence of carbon-rich materials that shouldn't ideally coexist with the stainless steel. Bob assesses the need for proper shielding within the device, considering the implications of such contamination on its operational integrity.
