Message - cracking. failure at the welds due to excessive heat.
heat is bad for weld. heat is good for flow. it's a trade
off. you'll be more susceptible to failure at welded
joints.

- metal decomposition due to excessive heat, and trapped
moisture. even stainless can corrode. stainless steel is a
misnomer anyway, it's technically 'corrosive resistant'.
However, trapped water in the blanket can QUICKLY degrade
weld joints if (weld filler dependant), and stainless can
corrode when heat and moisture are present. Dont forget,
many fasteners are not stainless, these will corrode and
sieze quite easily.

As for as heat, it's absolutely a great thing
(historically). I've personally not had great results with
it (Joop)
