    Turning 316L breaking inserts

    Wanted to if after roughing on the finishing cycle If a machinist is not use to work hardening materials , less than .010-.020 depth cut will work harden stain less. It will not cut correctly And will destroy the insert. Being there done that Rookie mistake.

    The minimum distance from the end of blind thread hole to the inner surface of the flange (inner surface of the container)

    I forgot yo add, components must have enough clearance for accessibility for hand tool. In other words clearance for access. Such as an impact wrench, torque wrenches. Ect

    Turning 316L breaking inserts

    I would take up interesting issues like this. Couple of question Was there failure analysis met lab visual and tensile properties of the patent material of machinable vs problem parts. Sample hardness of castings. What type turning equipment How is the casting held. Is roughing and then...

    How to measure hole diameter?

    Burunduk I concurr however , however the holes has to be measured as one attribute. Then the true position as an other attribute. Done this many times. Correct?

    New Patented High Speed Steel Alloys

    Why not your name and a numbers, like naming Such as similar to rex76, or M45.

    The minimum distance from the end of blind thread hole to the inner surface of the flange (inner surface of the container)

    I am just rookie with pipe flanges. But was researching pressure flanges. The hole spacing and bolt size are required to hold the required preload. Then edge distance Is 2 1/2 x the bolt hole diameter. I believe it's specified in shigleys mechanical engineering hand book But it needs vetted.

    How to measure hole diameter?

    ..171 hole is small. Consider what equipment can verify a hole of that size. Viable equipment. Veniar calipers. Sunnen gage. Is used foe measuring honed holes. Internal micrometer. Or go and no go gage pins. And more. I would recommend verify hole size. Then a go no go gage to verify vc...

    Composite Position with separate requirement for pairs of features

    I am late in the game, I read all post but I would have to reread ASME on what every one Is conveying. I had to scratch my head. Fellas this is a simple assembly , plate with brackets. I have to reread op post. What is the intent of the drawing. . If this is just bolt hole, the holes have to be...

    How to measure hole diameter?

    you are incorrect about multilayer parts. if the holes are not coordinated. there will be interference. that's why on aircraft bodies several details of two or more are match drilled. . rookie mistake

    How to measure hole diameter?

    I stated it wrong should be go size

    How to measure hole diameter?

    The gage pin should be oe allow minimum hole diameter. Re iterate gage should be held with or by the datums.

    How to measure hole diameter?

    O OK, I recommendation on the gage the pin should be no go, the gage should restrain to the datums, verify acceptance to mmc. The hole should be verified independently. Go and no go
