5160 Spring steel vs. grease question

[rmw]

Would some really good metallurgist go up to thread108-326877
and see if there is a metallurgical reason for what the OP has posted regarding Eaton's claim that grease degrades 5160 spring steel? Even if you aren't a good metallurgist, give it a try anyway.

Maui replied to the thread in question, as did I. We are both metallurgists.
