    Thermal Fit

    Thank you all very much. I contacted ZYP for information, they haven't gotten back to me yet. Is anybody familiar with embrittlement? I have read and heard a lot about it but I have never found out exactly how rapid and severe it is. How fast does it happen and what exactly happens...

    Thermal Fit

    Thank you for the advice. The parts are shafts that will fit into holes in disks. The shaft diameters are 0.375". I had planned to experiment to determine the hole sizes, I was going to try 0.368" and 0.3701" diameter holes. Both parts are SS 309, I believe the thermal...

    Thermal Fit

    I am building a device out of 309 stainless steel to operate in the 700-1000C temperature range, it will also be submerged in liquid aluminum. The stresses on the device will be moderate so I am thinking of doing thermal fits to hold everything together. My question is: Will the fits loosen to...

    Stainless steel 316

    There will not be a very large strength requirement and the service will not be long term; probably one hour daily, the construction is simple, from rods and plates. Does anybody have experience with 309? I believe that it has good heat resistance, how is its machineability? Better bet than...

    Stainless steel 316

    Hello, Does anybody know if stainless steel 316 can withstand moderate stresses at temperatures in the range of 900 degrees celsius? Where can I get data on its tensile strength at these temperatures? Thank You
