Hello,
Is there any software (or clearly worked example) out there for determining the torque vs material stress when an allen (hex) key is placed in a hole and twisted.
It sounds simple, but the size of the gap is going to matter along with assumptions of friction between the key and the...
yes,
but
there's a strap assembly that must be in place before welding.
sorry for not mentioning that earlier.
A little more googling/research coughs up phrases like seam and/or pipe welding that might be applicable.
Thank you,
Hi,
I'm designing a steel casting that has a semicircular x-section and
two parts mate with themselves. Drawn unmated here:

I was going to specify welding the seam on the outside (o) and then
grinding it down, but...
Hi again,
I have researched this a bit more and think I can answer my own
question. Snap fits work with big features and softer materials like
plastic. The casting tolerances required to make a snapfit work in
steel force the designer to look at simpler joining techniques like
interleaved...
I am considering an investment casting for a mid volume part in steel.
To save some operations, this might include a cantilever hook snap fit
detail.
On paper, the design seems viable, but I would like to find some real
world examples of cantilever hook snap fits that have been fabricated
in...
