I just did this mod on my Optimus Polaris! Works like charm. Along with having installed the Quietstove Silent MUTER Damper Cap, It's a Wonderful Setup!
Cool. Note: I see these filters offered optionally in 310S stainless steel *or* FeCrAl alloy. I wonder whether the aluminum in the latter composition would risk galvanic corrosion with the brass. Hopefully the sellers don't ship the wrong version. Can't use a magnet to check for the steel version since 310S is non-magnetic. Any other handy way to check?
I think you dont need to see that so heavy. If the entire device would be made out of copper and the mesh out of aluminium, then yeah after a few days you would see the result 😂 I dont know the distance between brass and aluminium regarding the voltage potential, but it should be in some books. FeCrAi, Iron, Chrome, Aluminium Hmmm... Strange situation; i dont know a way to check it too but i think you can just try it with a strong magnet because the FeCrAi alloy is maybe a little bit magnetic. But the Ai part of the alloy is not that big (maybe just a few percent?) I would observe it time by time if there is happening any reaction. But if your cooker is always dry then i think it will take a long time to see anything
According to chatgpt 310s is more likely to cause galvanic corrosion on brass. However using a small piece of original pad as insulator between brass burner and metal pad would minimize direct contact between these 2 materials.
