    Substation Transformer Failures

    Tuxedo, can you give a little bit more information on the test sequence when testing the new breaker? What type of failure did occur? Did it occur during closing or opening the vacuum breaker? I guess at closing as you are talking about pre-strikes! Best regards, Uwe

    Material composition of Scotch Brite!

    Hello, does anybody know the material composition of Scotch Brite which is used for surface finish for steels, cleaning,...? We have encountered some unexplained dielectric failures of a Scotch Brite polished contact system in vacuum. An untreated system works perfectly. A rough idea would...

    Searching non-magnetic low thermal expansion material!

    Thank you for your help. The material I chose finally was Inconel 600. It was the nearest fit with a mean expansion coefficient of about 15 between 20 and 800°C. It was the best fit I could get for my requirements.

    Change of magnetic properties of steel by thermal treatment!

    Hello, Does stainless steel loose its non-ferromagnetic properties when exposed to temperatures up to 850°C (Brazing) for a period of several hours. Final use will be at low temperature. The steels we are looking in are 304, 310, 316, 321. Thanks

    Searching non-magnetic low thermal expansion material!

    Hello, I am looking for a non-ferromagnetic, maybe a steel type and brazeable material which has an expansion coefficient in an order of magnitude of 8-15ppm/K from 20°C to 800°C , as mean value, would be ideal. Has anybody any ideas? Thanks!

    Thermal expansion coefficient at 800¦C

    Thanks for your reply! Finally I found some data in the metals handbook up to 1000°C for some steels. For 316 i found 16.0ppm/°C for 0-100°C. It matches quite well with the data I found. For the others I didn't check. Best regards, Uwe

    Thermal expansion coefficient at 800¦C

    Hello, I am looking for the thermal expansion coefficients (20->800°C) for the stainless steels: 304/L and 316L Thanks
