          Application No. 08/096,337                                                  


          nothing and the examiner points to nothing in the applied                   
          references which would have suggested modifying this prior art              
          practice in such a manner as to result in the here claimed method           
          and, in particular, steps iii) and iv) thereof.                             
               For the reasons set forth above, we cannot sustain the                 
          examiner’s § 103 rejection of the appealed claims based upon Kühn           
          or alternatively based upon Stickles or Mueller or Paterson in              
          view of the Metals Handbook.
