    The fan can and will explode. Ed Lindsay had one that I saw that did just 
that and it was full of this intergranular corrosion that I mentioned.

  After your fan is bead blasted, even before, be sure and look at it very
  carefully. I can't emphasize that enough. Magnezium has a problem with
  itergranular corrosion and will show up as thick spots, bumps, or if open,
grayish
  looking powder or flakey material.
      If any of this is present, DO NOT USE!
      If there is any question of what can happen just ask Ed Lindsay on VV or
  Fastvairs.
