Thank you very much for your help. There is a lot of good information here now. I will take a look at and see if this will help answer the company's question.
MagMike: sorry for the double post. new here and it took me a while to find the Magnetics forum and by then people were answering on...
thank you. yes, i know 1020 is plain carbon steel. i was mistaken at first to what alloys this company was interested in. usually they ask me questions about SS. i guess my question is too out there. i was just looking for generic answers to the difference. i.e. one will have better...
i appreciate everyone's help on this one. the part is a non-wetted one in a valve housing for semi-conductor fabrication. i was able to get a little more info and it turns out the material is 1020 steel that is currently wrought and they are looking into casting but worried the magnetics will...
thank you. i know the basics as i am a trained metallurgist however i never studied magnetics in school so i wasn't sure what the different structures would do to the properties.
I am consulting on a job for a valve manuf. they are looking at cost savings measures and I am not a magnetics expert and could not find any information online.
I am looking for into casting parts to save money with the neat net shape however the magnetics of the part are very important to how it operates. Any information on the differences, plus and minus.
Thanks
I am looking for information on the difference that may occur in magnetic properties between a wrought part and cast part. Any information is beneficial.
thanks
