I’ll never forget being a student and opening one of these right after flashing an instrument. I wait a bit now…

Seen autoclaves used for aircraft parts construction. Massive.

Why do aircraft parts need to be sterile?
SpermHowitzer@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
It’s not for it to be sterile, it’s to manufacture composite parts. They get vacuum bagged, then put into the autoclave and heated under pressure to bond all the layers extremely tightly.

For airborne contagions. Next question.

It is more for heat treatment of the metal after forming it.
