    304 stainless steel screws

    Ron, Thank you for the reply, I did forget to indicate we did have the "steel" reacting sample solution annealed and it didn't appear to do anything. Any other thoughts? Regards, Phil

    304 stainless steel screws

    I have(2)304 stainless steel screws that are made by different mfr. One mfr I know how they are formed, the other appears to be formed the same but I can't verify that. Both are going into situations where they are being required to be non magnetic, or as little as possible. Both screws are...

    looking for supplier for 305 ss screws

    thanks for the response Edstainless, Actually it is a gov. requirement, form fit function and more for the non magnetic qualities, the bolt mates with an aluminum component so strength is not the issue at this point, it is providing data as to the nonmagnetic quality, there is not a serious load...

    Maximum current surge calculation for hook up wire

    Jim S. Thank you for the reply. WHat the wire is used for is to carry current thru a hinge to power door devices. These will all vary in requirements, none that would exceed the capacity of the wire, except in one situation because of the inrush current. What we have is a latch device, solenoid...

    Looking for help with load calculation for hinge.

    EnglishMuffin, You are correct. The leaves have what I would consider a bearing journal and the channel has two balls(extruded the full length of the channel) that interlock(the channel slides over the two leaves) with this journal in each leaf. I'd like to be able to insert values into a...
