I have a piece of round stock 6061 T6 Aluminum, 3/8" in diameter. I am going to cut the round stock into inch long segments at a 45 deg. angle. I want to weld the inch long segments along the 45 cuts such that the two pieces form an "L". What type of geometry weld should I use...

I have sheets of 0.080 inch aluminum - approximately 8 inches wide and 150 inches long. I want to make an L-channel from two of these sheets. The L-channel will be standing with it's 150 inch axis normal to the ground. The corner weld will be under a light load. Approximately 4 pounds...

Hi, I'm interested in welding several components to a thin (0.04 inch - 0.06 inch) sheet of 6061 aluminum. The components are cut from a 1/4 inch plate of the same grade. They will be welded such that the 1/4 inch face of the plate is butted up against the thin sheet and joined with a fillet...

Thanks everyone. Very useful info. FYI: The sheet thickness will be in a range of 0.06" to 0.09". The inner radius can be as large as 0.25". The reason for the cap on bend radius is that clearance is very limited where the sheet will be used. This particular aluminum alloy...

I'm interested in bending a piece of sheet metal to a specific radius. In one case the sheet will be formed from 6092 aluminum. In another case the sheet will be formed from 304 stainless steel. I need to be able to bend these sheets without cracking the outer surface of the bend. However...

SANCAT, Thanks for your reply. Lots of bent paper clips seem to support your conclusion. I appreciate it. Jose

Picture a steel plate (24" x 4" x 0.25") clamped to a table such that the plate is cantilevered out away from the table by 22". Apply a load at the tip of the plate, normal to a surface, large enough to plastically deform the plate and permanently deflect the tip of the...

Trihydrate, Very good idea. The problem calls for a method of attachment with the ability to be applied remotely, that offers a force greater than 500 lb, and which is not a permanent(i.e. nut/bolt) attachment. All of these are satisfied very well by a vacuum. However, these plates will be...

Hi StressRiser: Here are a couple of things I left out: -The two plates are aluminum -One of the plates is part of a permanent structure(the same plate whose back face is not accessible). -a 500 lb separation load is necessary (If snap fits or magnets are being considered) ...and the fact...

Greetings: Description: Two 1" thick square plates, 8" on each side must be attached to one another temporarily. The attachment will be conducted remotely and from only one side of the attachment(that is, when the two plates are bonding or have bonded, only the top face of one of...

I have an interesting problem. I am doing work with boral, which is a sandwich material composed of a sintered layer of aluminum and Boron Carbide with a thin layer of aluminum attached on the top and bottom surfaces by hot rolling. The test coupons being used are allowed to soak in baths of...

I was curious if anyone had information regarding the static frictional coefficient which exists between a stainless steel (304 stainless) and an anodized aluminum surface (6092) or new of a good reference I could look in. Also, how will these two surfaces react with one another? Thanks alot.

Thanks for the input. Everything was very useful Butelja:When you say replace the quantity EI, do you mean in the moment-curvature relation, or one of it's derivatives/integrals. I don't really have much info pertaining to specifically to bent sections. I think I'm missing the point of...

I have a section of L-shaped angle aluminum with six inch side walls and a thickness of 0.05 inches. The length of the section is variable, but I have been using 10 inches, just to choose something. The arms of the angle aluminum are oriented such that the angle between them is slightly...
