    Well the good thing is they were able to reproduce it themselves so they won’t drive themselves fully crazy trying to narrow that down, assuming not a scam.

    I wonder how much you could automate that all to remove as much human factor as possible and be down to exact times if needed.

      It makes me wonder if they were, or how many attempts it took them to produce just 4 samples.

      The process should be possible to automate completely, with the right temperature profile (commonly used in electronics, for reflow ovens and such).

      But I wonder if there might be some other detail they might have forgotten to take into account… like maybe at some point you have to take the sample out with non-ferromagnetic tongs, but put it in with ferromagnetic ones, or flip it to the side, or align it with the heating coils of the oven, or whatever “irrelevant detail” like that.
