    Material suggestions for spherical bushings

    What about an alloy steel that we can heat treat and then do a secondary coating for corrosion

    NPD Process Toll gate approvals

    So the basic thing is the phase approval is handled with a meeting. We were trying to do it with e-mail and it does not work.

    Material suggestions for spherical bushings

    These are my parameters. Corrosion resistant Actual stress through design is low, but there is a contact stress that could cause deformation. Materil Rc40 and harder solve this. I was looking a stainless steel type material that can be heat treated to Rc 40 min. I was looking at 440C Is there...

    NPD Process Toll gate approvals

    I am looking for some tips on handling phase type approvals in a NPD environment. Any suggestions?

    mechanical properties of aluminum killed plain carbon steel

    What is the standard way to call out fine grained on an engineering spec? Is it best to reference an ASTM type spec? Or would one need to say "1018 fine grain" But then what spec would define the term "fine grain"

    Weld repairing a Quenched and Tempered cast steel

    I have a question on what is considered cosmetic type weld repair. If the part is subjected to high stress in a cyclic condition I would assume any surface cosmetic repairs would also be considered stress risers. Any thoughts on this?

    Weld repairing a Quenched and Tempered cast steel

    You did not read my last post... The casting was normalized after the welding. I would assume this would destroy the structure. I would have thought a temper would be ok.

    Weld repairing a Quenched and Tempered cast steel

    This was not available. I believe the casting was normalized.. now the hardness is too low. I am assuming the process destroyed the structure created from the quench and temper.. I think the casting is scrap now

    Weld repairing a Quenched and Tempered cast steel

    How is a stress relief in the weld zone typically applied?

    Weld repairing a Quenched and Tempered cast steel

    It was not 20% of the section. But this is in a critical area in a highly stressed part. Normally all defects are repaired prior to quench and temper.

    Weld repairing a Quenched and Tempered cast steel

    The material is genericly ASTM A148 grade 90 60 We have a very tight tolerance on the final machining. ±.0005 We have been quench and tempering, then final machining for 20 years. This is the weld process: metal-electrode arc welding. The defect was completely removed first.

    Weld repairing a Quenched and Tempered cast steel

    I have a steel casting that is quenched and tempered and then machined Weld repairs were performed after the machining. I am assuming the casting should be re-heat treated. Is it typical to just re-temper? or a full Q&T? Is there a time frame to complete this after the welding is performed...

    Is there a fatigue factor when calculating cold vs hot rolled designs?

    There is no heat treatments to this part. The bar is 1.25" dia and it has 1" threads that are cold rolled. Most of the bar is machined to 1.125" with a few transitions to less then 1" I image my fatigue failure locations would be in one of these machined transitions as the threads are rolled...

    Is there a fatigue factor when calculating cold vs hot rolled designs?

    I am aware of some of the advantages in cold vs hot rolled products. This is what I have: 1050 steel shaft, currently cold rolled and turned down to size, and threads added. Possible savings in switching to a hot rolled product. The UTS/YTS of the hot rolled product is less, but still within...

    Surface finish after nickel plating

    No one?? What about any type of plating and surface finish?

    Shaft datum as A-B set as primary control within A-B

    If I have a shaft that has one end set at -A- and another feature set as -B- I then define my primary for other features to reference A-B Can I set a control to define the position of B in reference to A? Or would this not be acceptable since A-B is the datum for other features.

    Primary datum as a sphere?

    But this center point of the sphere defines how the remaining geometry is created. I understand it is not a plane, but it is the most important location for assembly reasons.

    How to specify a cone as a datum

    The third plane is a surface that is perpendicular to the axis of the cone. This limits how far the cone is pushed into the chuck. The chuck adjusts to clamp down on the cone (at any position)

    Primary datum as a sphere?

    I could do that... but in the application the sphere is clamped and completely constrained. Except for rotation.

    Primary datum as a sphere?

    I have a sketch showing what I want. Not sure how I post it.
