Is "aircraft grade" something like "industrial strength" or "heavy duty"?

Surgical Stainless Steel?

What you really want is "audiophile - quality Vulcanian billet".


Right. One can't beat the oxygen-free, audiophile-quality, Vulcanian
billets of aloonimum, can one?



Ha, you beat me to the oxygen free part.


Damn! I knew I missed at least one, though 'oxygen free' is a
completely valid descriptor so it's almost illegal in this context.

How about 'depleted oxygen' audiophile - quality Vulcanian billet
aluminum.

I require two 'attaboys' because the last three words mean the same thing.
