Difficulty’s in working with meteorite as a pamor material

[Jeff Pringle]

I have been told that it is much harder to work meteorite pamor to achieve a desired pamor then it would be to make it with pure nickel material...Is it difficult to produce a good controlled pamor with meteorite material?

The main difference/difficulty between meteoric material and pure nickel or hi-N steel is that, as Dr. Hrisoulas says, you have to turn the meteorite into workable metal before you can use it in a laminate. Commercial sources of nickel and steel give you ready-made strips of material that is uniform in size and thickness, very easy to weld together into predictable patterns. With meteorites, you have the not-so-easy process of refining the metal and turning it into uniform strips to mix with low-nickel metal before you can start making it into pamor.
Once you have gone through the effort of turning the meteorite into useable metal, it's not all that different from using commercial metal, but that first step is a considerable one.
