    What Grade / Temper of Aluminum To Use

    The spec was for chrome plating, but Ni-P will be a less complex process for this component. In order to get a similar hardness, the Ni-P would need to be heat treated. Initially I was quoted high P level Ni-P, but low P level Ni-P will yield higher hardness. Maybe this hardness will be...

    What Grade / Temper of Aluminum To Use

    I have a cylindrical shaped part designed. The design criteria is reduced weight, increased wear resistance on the OD, and strength is not a concern. The dimensions of that part are: OD = 4.764" +/- .005" , .001" cylindricity ID = 4.302" +.001"/-.000" , .001" total runout to the OD Length =...
