OK, here is something I have never come across before so I'm hoping someone on here has. There areas on our aircraft that we use something called a "Plus Nut". The part number I'm currently working with is S8P150. I have never worked with them in the past so I have no frame of reference on them...
I think this will be a simple one that I should already know but I don't. Most of the time we work with aluminum (2024, 6061, 7075...) and for nicks, gouges, scrapes...the disposition is to smooth and blend unless the discrepancy is greater than 10% of the thickness of the material then it is...
It looks like I'm getting back into major composite builds again and I have a few questions I'm hoping someone on this site can answer. The last time I worked composites most of the time we used what we called "chicken" rivets to hold something into place along with the adhesive bond. As I...
I have been doing some research on laser cutting and although it is a great option in many cases it may not work for aluminum. We are looking at sending out some aluminum parts to be formed. The parts are approximately 2' by 2' made from 2024-T0 material .032 thick. The material is currently...
Good Morning,
I have been working on and off with composites for some time now but have mainly been involved with repairing parts, not so much the root causes analyses. Can someone tell me the most likely causes of porosity in composite parts that use an autoclave? How about de-bonding issues...
Good Morning
I'm currently working for a small helicopter company with lots of steel parts that require cad plating. During the build cycle some of this plating is removed through nicks, scrapes or just carelessness. At a previous company I worked we had a "brush" process for small repairs...
