    Electrical steel and wirecutting

    Thanks very much Ed Stainless The stacking and and wire cutting operation is to get the stator shape I then seperate all the laminations and restack them all with insulation between each one and wind copper wire around them There is just about zero carbon in the steel So I assume the edm...

    Electrical steel and wirecutting

    Got it straight in my head now No carbon ,,, no hardening No punching ,, no work hardening taking place Just a thin oxidised surface , quite thin ,, no effects

    Electrical steel and wirecutting

    All the lamination's are stacked together , welded on the edge ( it welds nice , I guess its the high silicon ) Then the stator is edm wirecut out of the centre of the stack Thank you

    Electrical steel and wirecutting

    Good Morning Yes as the title If I manufacture a stator will that wirecut surface degrade my electrical quality Thank you

    40mm Dia Stator

    I have wire cut a 40 mm 12 tooth , 0.5 mm lamination thickness stator piece , there are 16 pieces Im doing a skip tooth Classic LRK wind large prop at about 4000 RPM Do I need to anneal the stator pieces after wire cutting Does wire cutting greatly effect the properties of the steel or...

    Oxide layer on EDM cut Austenitic SS

    Thanks Work and health took away our hot nitric and hyroflouic bath And a good vacuum guy said you don't put EDM wire cut surfaces in high vacuum , so that recast has to be removed somehow Hand work does it at a time cost

    Oxide layer on EDM cut Austenitic SS

    The parts are for very high vacuum work Do I need to clean them at all ??? Will that oxide layer outgas or contaminate the vacuum in any way ???

    Oxide layer on EDM cut Austenitic SS

    How do you remove that dark oxide layer on SS Portions of my parts are very narrow with small holes 3mm and I cannot quite get the TIG brush in the area Also ,,, Tig brush creates heat which can warp slender parts Can you recommend some powerful pickling ???? Thank You

    Demagnetise Al Bronze

    Thanks Ed Stainless Clearer picture of whats happening Wrong matl selection definite Will try small part just as experiment

    Demagnetise Al Bronze

    Mag Mike Thank you They have a small part machined , that they could try that on What is it a heavy copper cable and how much current to start ? We have a small 60 Watt demagnetiser here I could try that

    Demagnetise Al Bronze

    Thnks all A case of wrong matl selection My $1 coin exibits no reaction to magnet , does not even move a compass

    Demagnetise Al Bronze

    Let me get the grade , that will help If its not a low perm grade I fear that is the problem , bad matl selection

    Demagnetise Al Bronze

    Its 10 Al 68 Copper and 4% iron Turned out more Magnetic than 316 So Can it be removed by electric means I dont want to heat very high as they are longish bars Thank You

    SS for high Salt Water ?

    Thanks for the reply Its a research setup and as you know can be complex What he may do is just a salt water swim pool silicon carbide on viton seal if there is room or a silicon carbide on teflon , if not,,,, its back to SS I have lots of Al Ni Bronze here and maybe a home build tefon...

    SS for high Salt Water ?

    Colleague, has a SS tube 30 Dia by 400 long with an oil seal type running on the 30 dia Slowly Usually wet But can turn dry Approx 10% salt water Looks like a galvanic type corrosion at the seal area No heat involved Can you recommend a metal , SS ? I dont think plastic will do...

    Melt manganese

    I hope that gives you some idea what Mn is like If I EDM it I will tell you Costly and may not be affordable for this experiment , I mean

    Melt manganese

    I tried compressing the powder falls apart,,, ugh , may be sintered?? , only maybe,,,,,,, in a reducing atmosphere, I will ask

    Melt manganese

    No No I estimate nearly 60 Rc , may have even damaged my file , wont drill EDM might do it

    Melt manganese

    Hi its an experiment where I work , they dont want carbon in that area Ive been off work more about machining manganese soon

    Melt manganese

    Hi Someone at work had a bottle with broken pieces of it 1mm thick approx , will drill 1 mm hole in it and tell you how it goes
