I'm not concerned about the specific elements, but the alleged pattern.

Here, what I picked up on was the change in supply to China. The M9
problems also resulted from a change in supplier, which introduced IIRC
a trace of silica, which ultimately was determined to have been the
embrittlement problem causing material failure. Now I'm not saying that
the Luxfer tanks have a silica contamination (although it would probably
be interesting to check), but rather that the problem is probably rooted
in what we thought were unimportant "other/misc" elements that were not
being measured and/or controlled by the material specification.

Even 15-20 years after the sale? I won't argue that this is not your
expectation; reality may differ.
