Effect of MEK on metal alloys
Effect of MEK on metal alloys

Is it possible for any metal or metal alloy spring material to be weakened by immersing it in MEK (Methyl-Ethyl-Ketone) lets say for up to 20 hours?
I have posted a companion thread to this on the Aircraft engineering forum of eng-tips thread2-214189: Cleco springs.
I will hold-off posting on the Chemical engineering forum in case there are sufficient answers here.
