The AAC product description states that it is constructed of: " Grade 9 Titanium, heat treated 17-4 PH stainless steel, and high strength hard coat anodized 7075-T6 aluminum alloy."

Can I assume the tube is Ti and the baffles are 17-4 PH stainless steel.  Not sure what parts are aluminum alloy.

Can someone please tell me what parts are what material with respect to this can and what cleaning solutuions/solvents/oils should/should not be used?

Mount Blast baffle is stainless, tube is Ti and remaining baffles are aluminum.

Tube is titanium, blast baffle is stainless, and subsequent baffles are all aluminum so do not use harsh solvents on the aluminum baffles.

Is Hoppe's bore solvent to harsh for the aluminum baffles?

I have also read about pre treating the parts by heating them to about 200 degrees and then soaking them in Silicon oil or Brake Fluid #5.  For those familiar with this procedure, how will the aluminum baffles fare being heated and then soaked in the Silicon?

Over time, Hoppes No 9 will damage aluminum.
