Found a paper that said this weld area has such low tensile
that a test piece cannot be machined into a tensile test piece
But we have it sealing at 1000c and Ultra high vacuum , just so long as you do not flex the welded area,, or it will crack
I got a weekend running out of a normal model plane Brushless, motor , bronze bushes substituted for ballraces
Flushed in tap water , so far OK , running at approx 1 metre depth , thats about the limit of my 36 Megahertz radio reception
No
No silicon near the brushes
I did get a good 5 minutes each of performance before both brushed motors died
Fully submerged
Have now a 40A ESC and a Brushless innrunner on with bronze bearings substituting the ballraces, no pool time yet
This has been proven in tap water , dont know...
Thanks mike I am going Brushless , my question is will the speed controller be OK with its 3 wire in the water
The water resistance wont confuse it ? and the back EMF for the motor timing wont get thrown out?, I hope not
Subs for a kids charity have a go meet
We all know brushed motors in fuel tanks last 1000 's of hours
Why then with my brushed motor in my Radio Sub is the brush life about 5 minutes ,
Chlorinated pool water ,,,
low power
Suggestions appreciated
Have an 18 bolt flange heated to 200 C
Taken apart often
would silver plated 5/16 UNF be better
than Grade 12.9 Cap screws with hi temp lube ???? Thanks
Well I learned that you separate the phase wires coming out of the core, if you sort of bundle them they can get hot there,, also vacuum impreg has no place in air cooled model engines as you want the windings open to air cooling not suffocated with epoxy

To my reading it was how the aussies bundled the wires out of the generator that got an overheat in this area also they did the vacuum impreg of the windings which was not quite right as I heard , also , gee they should build a few high power model plane electic motors to learn a few things...

by CTE do you mean matl expansion difference
You know that SS is joined to Aluminium oxide for high vacuum and up to 250 Centigrade temperature application,
That type of strain relief method would work
In that case a braze matl is used , I wish to join the Ta to SS...
Yes , vastly different melting temps
These work in Ultra high vacuum and 1000C
What Im doing is joining SS to tantalum pretty well , It must be a braze
In 20% of parts I get cracking and the SS, just a does not join to the Ta ,
I dont know why
Its not a metallurgy problem , just a...

Its probably more correct to say that 316 is non magnetic only after annealing
316 in my hand now has an Eclipse magnet 25 Dia x27 long hanging upside down on it
I also have a 316 conflat flange,that does the same
I did post in Welding , but here might be better
Im trying to get 316 SS to take or braze or glue to Ta it seems to work in most cases
is there a matl I can use as a filler to enhance the bond
I have used tantalum in the moly to moly bond
and found that was good
Yes , thanks
Similar sections , will try and get a picture
But I read that actually melting SS and Ta together makes a very weak matl
so you either use a filler type braze or if not
I sort of try and flow the molten SS over clean Ta and amazingly it glues tight , mostly, hope hope...
I mean is it actually possible to do what Im doing
getting 316 to braze,,, weld,,, ,,seal,,,to Tantalum
for an Ultra high vacuum seal at approx 1000C operation
These parts are in service working , but I dont undersand if Im brazing SS to Ta or welding to it
No brazing matl is used at all...
