Troubleshooting

New alloy behaves differently from the recommendation

A new or unusual alloy reacts differently from the base recommendation.

Different alloy coupons under controlled inspection, with one localized test area responding differently.

Symptoms

  • A new or unusual alloy reacts differently from the base recommendation.

Likely causes

  • Alloy variation
  • Unknown heat sensitivity
  • Surface preparation mismatch

Checks

  • Test on a small area
  • Track heat and visual result
  • Change only one variable at a time

Recommended fixes

  • Begin with the base LUXI recommendation
  • Use small-area tests
  • Adjust compound, wheel or preparation gradually
