    If theres nickel coming off already, I'd just send it back to them, duh.
    It could be a defect not visible to the naked eye.

    With a five year warranty I would say that they are pretty darn sure.

    All that means is that only 5% will fail instead of 10% (made up numbers). There will still be defects.

    How about 0.1%?? That's a typical out-of-the-box fail rate with good QC. I was a member of a QC team a few years ago and that was what we found to be acceptable...one in one thousand fail rate.

    That's why I said they were made up numbers. It totally depends on the manufacturing process and a lot of other things. For the stuff I have been designing recently there is a 1 PPM acceptable failure... I tell you a lot of thought has to go into that.

    The chances are small but they are there none the less.

    BTW I minored in statistics in manufacturing/QC
