    Re: Ceramic Helicopter Parts

    Thank you both for your responses. Unfortunately, I still haven't found the information for the second part of the question though - the dreaded refractories! What I need to ascertain are what are the different bonding techniques of the three types of refractory, and what types of ceramic are...

    Possible Causes of Failure

    TVP, thanks for your reply. It was some helpful links I was after as I will need to show evidence/proof that I actually understand the possible causes of the materials failure, and right now, I don't.

    Possible Causes of Failure

    Salmon2 & Stanweld, just a further point. You've mention that the part could have got worn out too quick and is being read from the inner material and not the carburized layer, which is why the RHC value is being read as 30. Why could this happen? And what possible solutions are there to...

    Re: Ceramic Helicopter Parts

    Hi there, I wondered if someone may be able to offer me some pointers with this one. Bit of a "weird" one but I'm studying for a HNC in electrical engineering, although one of my subjects is Materials Engineering. For an assignment, I have to identify component parts of a helicopter that...

    Possible Causes of Failure

    Hi all, Just wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction as to where I might find some answers on this question. I need to suggest some possible causes for the failure of a carburized alloy steel gear, which was meant to have a surface hardness of RHC60, but, after an in-service...
